Mali Air Express
Anybody worked at Mali Air Express or know anything about them? I applied for a Saab-340 captain job there and a couple days ago was basically offered the job on the phone. I accepted and they were suppossed to contact me the next day and send me tickets to get there, etc. Since then I've heard nothing and have been unable to contact them. Some people I know who are familiar with Africa say this sort of thing is normal there, but it seems odd to me.
In any case, I would be very interested in any details about the airline and pilot's experiences there.
Thanks!

Not worked for them, but can add:
1. It's Africa
2. They are part of the Aga Khan group which includes Air Burkina & a Ugandan airline ... so should be solid! Aga Khan has other interests in W.Africa apart from aviation

Info Job
Well just a few points:
1) The owner of Mali Air Express still own me 2000 USD after one year I left.
2) Airplanes are very old and no good maintenance at all
3) Expecting a very tricky contract so better do not count on it.
4) Attitude of the owner towards pilots very poor ,that is why MAE lost more than 60 per cent of his crews in less than one year .
5) Never ground an airplane for any reason such weather, maintenance and so on... because if you do not like you can go home.
I guess when they need you you got a job on the spot.....otherwise you are nobody ........
