This is the info I've managed to gain on UniTop thus far:

*a start-up who have yet to get off the ground but have been busy recruiting ie compiling lists of potential candidates for at least a year, if not longer.
*only recently (last month or so) gained their AOC from the CAAC.
*supposed to have begun flying operations on March 4 2011; as far as I know their 2 (or 3) 742s are still sitting on the ground.

If anybody has more or better information, feel free. As posters on other UniTop threads have noted, seems to be somewhat of a chaos club. So either they'll fade away or go into recruitment
panic mode because they have a deadline to meet.
I don't have a working recruitment email either...doesn't help that their website is currently offline.

Latest is they expect to start next month (But we have heard that before). Crews have been sent home to get visas (In their leave time).

To clear something up - it is 40 on, 20 off, with the travel time in the off time.

UNITOP

Hello Everybody,
What the pilots posted before about this outfit is TRUE, they will go down really fast with those pilots in the management, stay away from this outfit, until they get SABOOR out, then they might be ok otherwise they will shut down just like when he shut down Focus in USA. All the best,

Unitop

Saw a very tatty looking 742 in madras today from unitop. Ref the saboor chap. Never heard of him but just a glance at that cv which was posted says it all. Such a short time in each of his jobs. Either the guy is extremely unlucky to get jobs with companies that go bust or he is dodgy. Sounds like dodgy to me.

Their parent company's website that had a single page on the airlines routes and fleet has gone offline, I wonder if they are rethinking Uni-Top after investing in Jade's restructuring.

Nothing changed at Unitop. Still recruiting, but the process is very long.

Uni-Top Airlines

Any latest news about Uni-Top? With their stakes in ex-Jade Cargo, will they be phasing the 747-200 freighters and instead use the 747-400Fs for their operations?

This thread has been dead for a few years, but they seemed to get the operation off the ground with the 747.
Now it looks like Unitop are going though the recruitment process again, this time around it's A300 crew.
Has anyone from the 747 got any current feedback about the company and lifestyle? It looks like Mr Saboor is still involved.

pilotcareer.aero scam

I don't know about UniTop, but I did go to the assessment of pilotcareer.aero in Nuremberg. It was only a 40 minute sim which I paid 1190 euros. After I finished where I did well, they told me that UniTop would get in contact with me straight away. 3 Weeks later I have not heard anything. By looking at Unitop's requirements from pilotcareercenter, I immediately understood that pilotcareer.aero is a scam. Their requirements are much lower. Further more after continuously calling their 2 phone numbers plus the mobile phone of a "patrick thomas" that was in charge of the Unitop project for pilotcareer.aero I get absolutely no answer. The gig is up of for them. They have taken whatever money they could and ran. STAY CLEAR OF pilotcareer.aero!!!!

Thanks for that, there is no way I'm thinking of paying to be assessed I'm interested in the left seat. So far no talk of assessments in Germany, I'll wait and see.
Would still like to hear from a current 747 crew if there's any?

@yamato8

Sorry to hear that you lost your money. It is always a gamble, a gamble that i prefer not to take. However thanks for sharing your experience.

So next time, don't pay for any selection.

Good luck!

Hi

I applied 1 month ago, got a first positive answer few days ago asking me to send license, logbook, medical, passport for further screening.

Got again a positive answer that I meet their requirements (I have only CPL/IR and less than 1000TT).
They will provide information of next step of the assessment only via telephone, and they ask me to call them...

Sounds very strange for me...
