After not reading this for a while, am amused to read the last few posts. Couple of things occurs, G-WWIZ now re-registered under the name of one of alleged previous investors, and now based back at Bornemouth. Is it working ? ..if so in what capacity?

Whats going on in Farnborough ( if anything ) ...ref interviews held a few weeks back ?

If indeed MD is now stacking shelves ......assuming he was putting items on the shelves rather than other way round, does that mean Unique Air....( whatever it's called this week ) ....is finaley dead? or just his involvement?

I would very much like to know which store outside Bridgend MD was spotted in if anyone can help?

Frank Harding eh? I am just amazed to see that Davies was telling the truth by naming Frank. Among the names he gave like Alan Sugar and the ex manager of Darlington football club, both of whom he alleged were investors in his company, I am falling off my seat that there is actually a connection between the aircraft formerly owned by Unique Air and Frank Harding, formerly named by Unique Air as their investor. Who is Frank Harding anyway, has he anything to do with Baltic Group, or was that just a smokescreen by Sedgely and Davies?

I am still a long way from eating humble pie though!

What are we going to see next, Mark Sedgely named on the tenancy agreement of the first floor offices formerly occupied by Unique Air?!

I watch with total amusement.

I too was promised a job with unique air at the start of this year, not as a pilot. I was promised full training, a company car and that my contract would be issued in the post, which of course, never materialised.

I even put off accepting other positions thinking this was legitimate! What was I thinking! It wasn't until I rang ans spoke to a pilot who was being paid to answer the phones (!) that I thought something might not quite be right! Yes I am blonde!!

At least it wasn't just me that was fooled. Not that that's a good thing. I think meeting up for drinks is a damn good idea, I'm sure we'd all have plenty to discuss!

Spookily, have just been speaking to a few people that have been directly affected by this farse.
I believe this has been the quiet before the storm.

I look forward to the developments that may soon come to light.

Good Luck guys!!!

Can anybody that is taking legal action let us know if/when it goes to a crown court?

I'd love to sit in the public viewing gallery and watch & listen.

Porkies

I just had an interview with Unique Air International.....with a new Chief Pilot.

Not taking it because don't like Terms.....but was interesting all the same.

Since I was not too bothered either way I ventured to mention this site and the various comments.
Rather than a load of ranting I actually was given a few explanations....some of which were quite serious.

It appears someone is telling Porkies.....

Not sure which it is at the moment.

Explanations

I had to laugh, I trust you don't mean that everyone who ever worked or was associated with them was telling porkies?

Maybe you should find a person who has worked for them that can give them a glowing reference, however the explanation would be good to hear, so go for it!!!!

Thumbs up in agreement

I will have to agree with runway on this one, after all the things said I went for the interview just to see it with my own eyes, and didn't expect what I saw new chief pilot, new offices, new staff and they all seem to be quite happy. I also asked about the thread and I'm happy with the answers.
We will wait and see if these Citation 2's do get delivered or not that will be the only way to see if it's all changed. Runway, were you offered 1 months salary upfront, and given the answer its due to the things others have said.

F.I

Wait and see

Well FI
First post to confirm the happiness of the team, we can all gather that the MD no longer is involved then, if so I guess its just another scam, im sure they have given you dates for the TR also the delivery of aircraft, AOC registration Number and start of commercial Ops.
Would seem a pointless excercise if not in place. Lets just hope no more people are sucked in, im sure this thread will pick up on it if nothing comes of it.
If MD not involved I wish them all the best, If he is I guess it will go same way, back to the supermarket

Porkies 2

Carbon, I am not sure that this forum is the type of place for this really.

Certainly saw stories on MD(?) but he was not present in the interview and nor mentioned.
The aircraft that I was interviewed has been confirmed but since it is non UK not sure AOC relevant.

I don't know the ins and outs of the stories but certainly answers were given and "seemed" possible. I thought I would ask.

Certainly I checked back on this site, as they mentioned, and things "seem" to be possible given the answers....but......not sure.

Interestingly one item I had heard before from another place was that one of the crew...think it was "Rebellious1" on this site, did not have a valid IR/ME rating when he started and actually lied about it when asked. They told me his name but maybe this is not the place for it. This is the second time I have heard this and once was on a previous thread.

Rebellious1 - DID you have a valid IR/ME when you started or not? They said you didn't and that you tried to cover it up.
I suppose once I get this answer then it might tell me if the other "answers" were real or not.

Fix It - terms about the same but through agency. That way they have to pay me. I was interviewed for the Moscow Citation but really can't put up with 30/30. Also min hours was 5000 for LH which makes promo difficult.

OK listen to the pooint that they go out of the way to explain about individuals and inform you of personal information of the said person.

- do you not think that any reputable charter / airline / cargo etc would have checked this? be serious!!!!!

- If he had no IR how long did it take to find out, how did he fly, how was the check flight to confirm

Porkies me thinks

Also think this is the right place to keep wannabee and others alike informed dont you

The problem with forums like this is that people guess.

Do you know if it is a Porkie or not? Or are you "guessing" ?

When or why the pilot in question "was found out" is not the point simply because I did not ask and therefore any answer would be a "guess" on my point. I do not guess. I fly and am careful what I say and especially what I see!!!!!!

I asked a direct question and they gave a direct answer. They did not elaborate except giving very clear direct answers. (Which they also did on my general questions on the operation and my usuals on T&C). His name was mentioned but little else.

If "Rebellious1" would clarify if or if he did not have a rating at the time of joining then maybe, just maybe the rest of the answers would have a relevance.

If he had one then maybe these guys are not to be trusted. If he did not have one then maybe what they said becomes relevant.

Certainly I was referred to other threads and they clarified some answers on my other points.

Turn Around

You mentioned that "you believe" an article was written about MD being 767 Capt but you cannot find on FAA.

Have you actually seen the article or are you "guessing" ?
