Good bunch of guys! If you need any details give me a buzz, used to fly there. :ok:

I'm actually hoping to hear about a different company with the same name Skylark Aviation.

I believe it's a Flight Crew Leasing Company

Well if it's a Flight Crew agency then why ask what aircraft they operate if they are not an aircraft operator?

heard a rumour they had an opening for A320, but nobody seems to know anything about them.

I have talked to Stuart-Martin,
is this the same person? Have you had much contact with them there does not seem to be much information out there on the operation?

Skylark Aviation Ltd are here - Skylark Aviation Ltd - historic aircraft in the West of Scotland

However, I did come across this post:

Sorry MHN I have not been around much..

I did talk to this person he tells me that I need to send him 1000.00 USD for deposit on sim training in Madrid or Dubai also interview are in New York dates have changed 3 times! and if selected training starts in early April. If you are not selected you get the money back?

Has anyone out there done this before does this sound on the up and up???

This is what the Oxford English Dictionary says of, the verb, Skylark:

play practical jokes or indulge in horseplay.

I've been talking to this guy as well. He's asked me to send him 1500 US dollars as a security deposit. He told me Interviews are in paris on the 15th Feb (why would anyone do interviews on a sunday?) but he's not giving me any other information. I was going to send him the money through my bank but he didn't give me the company address so when i asked him for it he gave me an address which was for his bank and told me his offices are in the same building. He still hasn't given me his office phone number. things just don't add up with this guy. when i first spoke to him he told me the last date for my application was 26 jan, i delayed it and he kept on extending the ''last date'' just for me. i still have a last date of tomorrow to pay the deposit.

Personally i think this is a scam and I wont be going ahead with it.

''play practical jokes or indulge in horseplay.''


Phileas Fogg - That just about honestly summs up this company called Skylark Aviation. The guy is trying to play a joke on people like us..

For information

The company SKYLARK AVIATION we are referring to, is based in Mumbai, India and i believe it has no connection to a company based in the UK by the same name operating Chipmunks.

Their website is SKYLARK-AVIATION.COM

None of the links work, there is no contact info, and quite frankly the guy we refer to is called STUART MARTIN. He is very Indian and i have no idea why he has an Irish name.

be careful!!
 

They wanted me to transfer $1000 in advance, even though he said it is refundable. so I asked him what the difference between pay in advance and pay in later is, he didn't give reasonable answer, just said yes or no.
He was obessed with getting the money and focusing on it. He kept calling me. He told me he could come to my country for interview at first, and then a couple of days later, he told me he could come to my place for interview. His story, as well, kept changing. I couldn't count on him(stuart martin).

He sent me the bank account. Unfortunatly, that account was personal account, not corporation account, though he said he has been doing this business over 18years. It is bull****. I couldn't send the money.

whether believe them or not is up to you

Yeah, yeah... and General Umbongo of Nigeria has just left me $20m in his will subject to the official upfront admin fee. If it looks like s**t and stinks like s**t, it probably is s**t. You still want to see if it tastes like chocolate?

Now a real company wouldn't be using gmail and would publish their address!

If one googles for Shaival Kulshreshtha then it seems he is a web services provider.

But according to the Skylark website they have been going for circa 30 years, a quote of 18+ years earlier in this thread, OK the internet hasn't been around that long but gmail addresses are, in comparison, a very new thing.

So, it may seem that, the Skylark website was only registered after gmail addresses came in to existence and it is not a historic company of 18 or 30 years whatsoever.

Anyone in India care to investigate the company's date of incorporatiion and/or if it has ever been incorporated at all?

I've checked most of the indian business directories online and this company is not in any one of them. Dont send him any money.. it seems a fake

MHN

I agree DO NOT SEND him any money. If I talk to him I will defiantly give him a piece of my mind!!
Cheers all.

Its like talking to a call centre these days ain't it? Hi my name is Stuart Martin (insert thick Indian accent).

Poor grammer is a bit of a give away if you ask me. Tread carefully folks. Ask yourself why are there jobs in India on the A320 when their local CAA is turfing out expats. I don't think so somehow.

This is what I got.

"Aravinth,
