As far as someone with a stable long term goal, that may be harder to find, as the diversity of MAEL's business with Line Stations in BHX, LGW, Nice, Malaga, Kiev, Warsaw, Man, EDI is a right mixture. So whilst the Hangar and stations in WAW/LGW/EDI are pretty much gold care centric, the others are a bit of a hotch botch in that they look after many varying customers.

It could spell the change of the MAEL network with the stations or bases being divided even more, merely by those that are gold care stations and those that aren't.

Failing that, the UK stations that came from Jersey stations could end up back in those colours. I still have my old uniform somewhere I think
Crucial question;

Reported on the Fly Be thread few weeks back that they are to take back all hangar maintenance in house and stop using MAEL.

Is that the case as they must provide 30% of MAEL work(Three BE planes a day/night go through it ).With the loss of Monarch..probably 40% That would be a huge amount of extra work to find after the 17 Virgin and Norwegian 787s go through it at BHX this autumn/winter.
