Old news, happened about a year ago taxying full to line up, one side of the undercarriage gave way, believe it blocked lyneham for a day or so, and to make matters worse, the replacement frame blew a couple of tyres on landing !!!

Coleman Myers,
As you presuambly work for MK, perhaps you would be kind enough to answer some of the genuine questions asked in this thread?
How much do MK crews earn?
Are they recruiting?
What's the roster like?
What are they like to work for?
and finally, do they still intend to obtain a UK AOC and if so how is that progressing?
Thanks!

I worked for MK (in crewing not as crew) for 4 years and I have to say they are all the nicest guys you would ever meet!
When I was there they were treated exceptionally well, but now I think generally they are treated ok, they stay in some of the top hotels, yeah had crappy economy flights but sometimes they are lucky enough to get business/first class, can't say anything about the salary think it is pretty good, the guys seem to live pretty well, overall I never had any complaints.....but just ask yourself why are alot of the guys leaving now, I have stayed in touch with a number of the guys and find out all the time who is leaving, some of the guys I thought would be with mk forever have gone.....why??!!

This week I have noticed in one of the industry magazines (was it Airline Cargo Management?) that Keith Riches became MK's Engineering Manager (or Director?).
So if he is the same Keith Riches who works (or worked?) at UK CAA Safety Regulation Group as one of senior maintenance inspectors/regulators then it sounds like a move towards UK AOC...

Hot off the press @ yahoo.news
"Report: Gazprom Agrees to Buy Sibneft
MOSCOW - The world's biggest natural-gas producer, Gazprom, has agreed to purchase the Sibneft oil company for $13.01 billion, the Interfax news agency reported Wednesday.The reported deal would significantly further Gazprom's stature in the oil sector as President Vladimir Putin's Kremlin moves to recapture state influence in the lucrative energy industry."
A backer with that kind of ammo is probably very reassuring for MKA boys (and girls !)
