Markoss rostering
Can anyone shed some light on why Markoss Aviation feel it necessary to produce crew rosters that are, lets say, outside the limits laid down in CAP371. Markoss holds it's own AOC and yet from what I can see, these rosters are by no means legal in terms of days off. Is it a case of rostering after the event so that "days off" are shown to be legal but in reality are not?
Seems the GA world still doesn't learn the responsibilities that come with holding an AOC, and Markoss appear to be no different.
Comments from Markoss crews welcome......and anyone else come to that

I can't comment on their rostering...I nearly took a job with them earlier this year. I was endeared toward the company as I found Rob and Jamie extremely likeable and I was looking forward to working wih them... alas it will be one of those 'what if's' in my career.
I was curious to see their website is down...What's Markoss's current status? I've not seen any press about them which I thought was a little strange considering how big a deal getting the CRJ's would have been...

Viking,
I think you should explain why, in your interpretation they are outside CAP371.
Not wanting to question your analysis, but there have been occasions where people on here have mis-interpreted the rules.

I here they are doing well. The guys there were very likeable. Had an interview and there was nothing that came to light that would imply things were not compliant.
You don't work for them, so are you one of the pilots mum's sticking up for her offspring?
Or just more stirring on PPrune?

Being a bit of a pendant, I know, but CAP 371 is not law, it is guidance. The legal document is their Ops Manual as approved by the CAA. Granted that they are often the same but it is an important distinction.

The aircraft appears to be flying much of the time and clearly it is a niche market. If they are getting decent daily mins - they should be doing well.
I did hear that Rob Spence has left though.

He has gone, left at the end of September, don't know whose the accountable manager now, I hear that the Chief Pilot and Chief training capt have both resigned, along with a line capt, and the commercial director hasn't been around in ages. The company is being run by a guy who used to be a builder! obviously knows alot about aviation to let his key staff resign well done Bob

if you had read my post yesterday and didn't jump to your own conclusions you will see that I actually wrote, "I hear that the Chief Pilot and Chief training capt have both resigned, along with a line capt"
anyone can be in their resignation period and still be with the company, I did not say that they had both left, but I think your find that my information is correct.

flyingdolly. Are you this touchy in your work?
Reading between the lines I'd say the mods were given you the chance to quantify your statements following someone's complaint or calling foul. In response to that you've turned on the mods.
