Good news in todays turbulent market. Where did you hear that?

MK have suspended all recruitment due to the economic downturn,I have no idea when they will be taking guys on again.

I was due to start with Mk but recieved an e mail saying the same as the above, that they have suspended recruitment due to the downturn in the industry being felt. I elected to stay in the hold anyway as I've come this far. Anyone working for Mk here? Just wondered how things are holding out/ getting worse or improving?

HKG cargo ramp deserted because Mr. Smith in Kissimee, Florida, USA, lost his job and was unable to buy his daughter new Barbie Doll made in Shenzen factory in China. . . .
Asia pacific air cargo volume is down 17%, FRA cargo volume is down 22%; CX & SQ are parking -400Fs. . . . It's a snapshot of what's happening globally in the air freight markets in 2009, year of the Ox. Happy Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Chai. :{ |
In December Cargo down 23% - in Asia 27% - That is in busy month.

Are they doing the Europe-LUN run for Stabo Air?
|
WOW
I am amazed that no one has mentioned the 19 FO's, 11 FE's, and 6 Loadmasters that lost there jobs with MK today. :ugh:
I hope all the effected crew find other employment soon! |
MK is under CVA meaning...
MK is under CVA meaning... everyone can be sacked at any moment without... thats why they operate under CVA. Correct?
|
Oh that's bad news. Sorry to hear about the redundencies. I hope the folk concerned aren't out in the cold for too long.
What's going on at MK? The latest news on their website looks positive but people are losing their jobs. How many F/os does that leave? |
"MK is under CVA meaning... everyone can be sacked at any moment without... that’s why they operate under CVA. Correct?"
No. I am not an employment lawyer, but just because you are under CVA does not give you the right to be 'sacked at any moment' (in fact being under CVA as long as the company is not being made insolvent... any contract should be guaranteed by the administrators.). Do not get me wrong I am very in favor that MK prosper and become a lucrative company. Even though the pay for crew is well under par (i.e. SH!T), I have heard from a 'very reliable source' that it is a very nice company to work for. "What's going on at MK? The latest news on their website looks positive but people are losing their jobs. How many F/os does that leave?" My personal belief is that the company is going to do very well. The new investor is not likely to back out now, and I am sure he is seeing this for the 'sale' that it is. Buy an Airline that has a decent amount of connections, with a British (respected) AOC and a base line crew that are willing to do almost anything for the original owner. I digress. The Company has the ability to become a good player within the market. I hope the 'DOC' has realized that it is going to be much more expensive to resource new crew in the upswing of the market then to retain the dedicated crew that he already had. |
When did Abdullah Alanizi become the Director? Is he from the new Administrators?
