I think he might be "tamping"

MD's word for angry/frustrated.

Anway, hands up who's taking him to court?

I'd love to see him arguing with a barrister/prosecution in a Crown Court.

HEhehehehehe

Poor little Bu%&er must be worried as the only person stupid enough to sign up as a Director. Do you think he is just a patsy for the "real" money? Obviously if any wrongful trading or trading whilst insolvent could be demonstrated it would be totally his responsibility and would negate any protection he has through limited liabilities therefore making him personally liable for and creditors claims.

Seriously, anyone who wanted to put real money into an aviation venture would, one assumes, choose someone with a bit more of a proven track record than Mark.

I don't understand, how can there be any money if all the flights were just to give poor low houred pilots a helping hand and to save lives of orphans by delivering much needed offal?

Guys, seeing as it's now on the open forum, I'm more than happy to supply the contact details for the guy I spoke to at the CAA's compliance unit. They already have names linked (in some cases innocently) to MD, Unique, Sedgley, Baltic Group, Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all.

They're not the only ones taking an interest, believe me (feel free to PM me for details).

Glad I got that off my chest after 9 months.

A question came up earlier as to whether an employer would look unfavourably at ex-Unique pilots or not. We have just taken one on (not one who has been posting here) and, having his CV, mikehammer will be on the positive pile when he has a few more hours. I am sure Phil feels similarly. So don't be concerned if you have been taken in by MD.

It's a learning experience, and if you take the right lesson from it then it can be good for you. Doing things the right way is always easier than when you have had to do things the wrong way. That is why the legal operators have to do it this way!

I have a part time job flying and for me thats positive, I am relutant to use his name against any flying experience, however as MD has pointed out I never worked for him, slave labour i think is the correct term
So if anyone wants there aircraft transferred for maintenance, ferrying etc there are a few of us oldies out here would love to do it, and theres a lot of us just on this thread

Any of you guys ever used the faa.gov airman search registar? you can look up everyone how has a FAA license and what type ratings they have! it even shows up 777 ratings! did a search for a guy mentioned on this forum and guess what! no rating! lol,, in fact i think i remember he only got his FAA CPL in about febuary/march 2005, supprised a 777 captain does not have one already, would be hard to fly without.

my user name makes is obvious who i am and i am not getting involved further in this for legal reasons. but i can confirm that a certain individual is compleatly full of it because i lived and trained at the same flight school for over 2years and now it for sure.

Sincere thanks to Phil and Life's a Beech once again for words of support.

Good luck to the pilots in their new proper jobs.

You are right, no 777 rating, I checked where you suggested, medical seems to be expired as well, although he may no longer be flying commercially:

From the look of this thread I'd say he should be the one who is worried - there seem to be a lot of angry people on here!

The angry people arent just on here, Unique Air has the worst name in the whole industry now and everyone is very eager to get the dirt on them. I just wish i told them what i thought of Pprune during my interview. Because what you read on here is very important and should be taken into consideration at times. Cause if I read the post on PPrune 4 months ago i would have never been in this mess. Its actually great to finally work with some very professional people in this country, thank Lifes a Beech. The 404 is a great machine but aint a Beech.

Just picked up this private message from Im Here:


Who's John, and what backs up his claims? Incidentally I replied to the effect that I'd want further details of why so many pilots seem to be aggrieved if it was the small problem he claims, but he has not answered, so I can only assume the claim is false now can't I? Who are these 18 crew, and are they happy?

Well, according to airport authorities the Unique office has been closed and everything has been moved to a private address, and the baron has been stuck as it were on the ground. I have no idea what this means tho dought it is a good sign. Anybody know whats happened?

Has anybody seen a paycheck yet? Or heard any official line from MD or investors?
