Is this company based in SHJ? And is the rumour of expansion into the wide bodied aircraft market true?

It would appear that with the demise of Heavylift at STN and SEN a whole new culture has been born. One in Aus and this one in UAE. Are Hale and Pace behind these ventures or is it an offshot of this company

Not sure on that unless the dogzbollox is going to show some bolloxs and name the company in question.

An agency is looking for widebodied crews for a SHJ freight startup in Oct could it be Dorothy from Kansas or a new kid on the block

The problem at Lasham was not payment it was part of the mod kit failed on installation so new parts had to be manfactured. I was told that by someone who works there and was involved with the mod.
I thought 9G-PEL was a Johnsons aircraft?

Phoenix Aviation

This is the same Phoenix Aviation of Kyrgzstan, who are banned by the UK Gvmt as there are "doubts about the operating base" of the airline i.e. EX- (Kyrgz registered) but based in Sharjah.

K9's Testicles.You are tottally wrong about the Lasham bit and would suspect you are also way off the mark with the rest of it.
Perhaps change your name to dogs**t.

KK was Ops Director before BW. I'd be very surprised if he was still interested in such tacky goings on.
