Hi There,
I do have the contract, however we are few captain's and first officer that we decided not to go because they hired ABDUL SABOOR, and if you don't know him, try to ask. PM me for the contract. Fly safe and stay wherever you are now.

Seems like they take forever to get going. Since 2008 if I am not mistaken. What is this Saboor guy's background, does anyone know? Understand he was at Macstar in Turkey for a very short time!
Is he looking for greener pastures, or does he not fit into some of these airlines?

Stay away from Uni-Top as long as Abdul Saboor is there. He is a dangerous man that is on a serious ego-trip. Tries to force flight crews to fly dangerous aircraft. I have proof of this if anybody needs evidence. STAY AWAY

Hey Classicpilot,
I guess you forgot that he was FIRED from Orient Thai, Phuket air, Medix, Orex air, and MESABA in USA. He was claiming that he was a COO for a company in Thailand that NEVER exist, only on paper, check with THAI DCA.

I have posted elsewhere, but as all the threads mentioning UT seem to drift, I will shamelessly cross-post.
UT are not ready yet. Those in the recruitment process are however being told that they will travel to China as soon as they have done all the paperwork (at the applicants expense of course).

Hey Guys,
I just heared that this guy Saboor has FAILED his CAAC ATP test, he is not a check airman or anything, right now doing only an office work, the source is from someone next to him. Anybody knows anything about his background?

As far as I can tell there is not much chance of Unitop getting going anytime soon (I mean with their own aircraft). The point of contact in China has obviously been told to stall crews. She does this by dreaming up more and more obscure requirements which are 'required' before travel. This has not stopped them interviewing more and more to add to ' the list'.

Quite a while....
Unitop has been talking about operating their own aircraft for AT LEAST 5-6 years now. Are they any closer now than they were then? I am wondering if this is just wishful thinking..............

Wow...what a "CV" that Mr. Abdul Saboor 
BTW, could he be also the same "brain" behind the semi-obscure cargo carriers flying with old 747's at Georgia's EUREX CARGO, Armenia's VERTIR CARGO and VETERAN AVIA or even Pakistan RAYYAN AIR Cargo?

Yes, you asked for any comments?? from Singapore or Southern?? I flew for Singapore and you can ask him Why he was terminated?? I don't know about southern. I know that with Thai Pacific, the company was only on paper and never got there AOC from THAI DCA because of a big failure on paper works. Focus air went under because of him, ask there pilots. Star airlines was already there with there AOC in place, How can he claim that he work for Star airline from 2008 to Present when he was FIRED in May of 2009?? What a Lier !!!!!! They hired him to run the show after his termination from Medix, then he was terminated. Why he never mentioned that he was terminated from Orient Thai, Phuket air, Medix, Star airlines??? Why he never mentioned that he busted 4 tires in Afghanistan trying to make a smooth landing?? Myself and 3 other captains went to China for interview with UNITOP 3 months ago and we met him there, and guess what?? We all left.
Fly safe my friend, by the way we are looking for 744 crews.
