MK f/o

Hi,
Everybody who has reasonable experience on the A320 family can push MK for an A340 position!
We are absolutely short of experienced f/o. MK will definitely hire f/os as we have a big WC 2010 charter program. It's cheaper to CCQ than train ab initio Mauritians with low experience on the A340. We have 6 ex-SAS f/os currently on IFR duties on short term contracts getting a basic of 6000 EUR!
But don't come if you hope for command. The airline is being "mauritianized" and with so much expat Captains the chances for an upgrade are really slim. MK has just upgraded 6 Mauritian A340 f/os to the ATR as captains. Meanwhile they will keep flying as f/os on A340, once released on the ATR.
Hope this helps.
Merry Xmas to all!
