Sorry to hear that napoleon, never the less you talk with very little knowledge on whats actually happening in MK and make far too many wild clueless statements "Im sure after years of operating illegal with a Ghana AOC they have found a way to obtain a UK one just as illegal" to quote for example! I can see you have very little clue what your actually talking about. Sometimes it better to think (maybe read up?) just a little before you scream your mouth off, so you don't piss everyone off. Suprised you haven't learnt that already in aviation.

Have you ever thought that they might have had an eye opening experience after that? Im sure they have but those men would still be here if the company's eyes had been open all the time as they should be. MK getting a UK AOC with their safety record puts a UK AOC about on the same level as as a DRC one in my opinion that is.

Its amazing...U just can't stop your ignorant ranting and raving Napoleon, Do you ever listen or are you always the one shouting to drown everybody out? 
You just have absolutely no clue! I just hope you fly in a single pilot operation, cos I would just hate to see you in multicrew enviroment, can't and won't be a pretty sight.

hey guys there's no point in arguing with napoleon, he most definately has a major chip (maybe the fact that he's named himself after someone with the worlds worst case of short mans syndrome has something to do with it?) for what ever reason. Yes MK's track record isn't the greatest but as has been pointed out a UK AOC isn't something you can just buy but when your that blinkered you can't talk reason.
My understanding is you need at least the first module for an interview but you need all subjects for a course date. Yes one of the things that they look for is the ability to get on with your colleagues for a couple of weeks at a time. Whilst guys have got in with min experience in the past don't think that applies now? Good technical knowledge of your current aircraft is needed as well as a brief idea of MK's fleet etc.
Good luck, sounds like things are changing?

Man I have been trying with MK for years and no luck. Then when they put in the JAA thing that was me cooked. But now I am doing my JAA licence and when its in my hot little hand then MK will be getting another knock at the door. Come on guys they have an awesome job, flying classics into tough places that no one else wants to go to, great fun. Have met a lot of the chaps there over time and they have all been great with info and updates about the company. If you want to make use of them for this reason just post your questions and I am sure they will be answered. But you shouldnt give them cr@p because I hear that they cant sleep on long flights because of the comments they read here on pprune hurt their feelings

napoleon, stop calling those guys names come on out and tell us what exactly you have a problem with? Did you know someone on that flight? what are your conections with MK or you just like the majority of south africans who think they know everthing about african airlines but don't actully work for any of them. Why can you not accept that going the JAA route is a good thing? speak up...

Guys guys guys... Doesn't anybody here notice that "napoleon" only posts to stir s*^t up.
He doesn't care about the subject been discussed, knows nothing about it, his only aim is to rev everybody up. And he's doing a great job at that!
Go look at all his other posts and you'll see what I mean.
Just ignore the guy.

Guys Guys you are right I am reving you up quite a bit. However you now only seem to able to attack me and not defend MK in anyway at all. I do know them and have witnessed their cavalier attitude toward flying and it has had dire out come, that no one can refute. Do as you please its on your head.

As far as I know(told by MK guys). They mostly live in SA and a few in ZIM. But they told me they do a lot of stuff out of Lux. The guys I was talking to were on their way to Lux then somewhere in Sweden then Cairo then back to their homes down south. I used to hear them flying all over Africa, Equatorial Guinea, Ndola, Kili, great variation in their work. Awesome job if you can get it bleeds. Cheers.

Considering the destinations they seem to serve, there is no doubt about the interesting nature of the job since they have to deal with all sorts of airfields and weather. I definitely would be up for that.
How about the general atmosphere ... and T's and C's. Being presently bonded, I cannot afford "any" conditions....
thx

I think mk getting it's uk aoc shows that the company is at least trying to head in the right direction, & lose the stigma of being a "bad" operator.
Napoleon, I'm sure the caa would like to hear there are cells operating in their ranks willing to give out illegal aoc's to dodgy operators.
