Off thread a little but C of A should be non-expiring; Airworthiness Review may be due but it is not necessarily reliant on a C-Check (but can be aligned with for physical survey). BA's ARC expired 26/10/09 and the other one expires 02/11/09 (see G-INFO)

Word around the bazaars is that MK are getting the DC8 that was based in Zambia back up for a forthcoming contract out of UK , any info ? will they be replacing the ACE/Meridian DC8 or is another contract ?

How many of MKs aricraft are actually airworthy and flying at the moment ?

DC-8
 

Anybody know of anybody looking for and experienced DC-8 captain???

Know lots of them, all sh*tbag operators, PM me if you need contact details.

it is already crewed- 2 skips, 2 fo's and 2 fe's. will just wait to see when it actually starts

All thw wrong fluids
 

Dionysius,

The last time I saw the beast on the tarmac opposite the terminal it was leaking Hydraulic Fluid all over the parking bay, IMHO, not worth getting thios bird going.

Maybe the new money run out.

Engineer Contractors told to go home, Agency not paid.

'Engineer Contractors told to go home, Agency not paid'

Is that MK at manston ?

Aircraft seized
 

Jungle drums say an MK aircraft seized at Filton? Any word out there?

Heard the same. Seems money has run out and they have not paid the lease bill. Crew have not been paid and those at Landhurst are getting nervous. Also a couple of high profile resignations recently.

It looks like the ex AAI B747 freighter is stalled & the lessor not getting paid.

Seems like Deja Vu

Here we go again! How long can MK continue operating like this?

charter man what is the source of your information?

thrax you say high profile walk outs, how high are we talking?

Not top level, but significant.

Is FE AE still there ?

I heard Pat Pearse has either been booted by TAA or resigned. Not sure of any other top level persons.

HA left Ostend today for Subang, upgrade to stage IV... and heated toilet seats for the crew?
According to companies house, al is fine again with MK, since yesterday the published company status is: "active"; alive and kicking again, hopefully fuel prices stay low..

Writing on the wall.
 

From a source at MK

pat pearse /chief operating officer resigned and gone, tom wrigley/ops control manger resigned/simon annetts /quality manager has resigned,/one person from commercial has resigned...and ......ross wilson/commercial director just resigned!!! my feeling is this ....they were all connected with commercial dept.they know the game is up! and yes we got paid 7 days late. down to one a/c as of 30th.

New 747F operation about to start with all these guys involved, first flight next week. Any creditors of MK watch out!
