Current state of things?
Obviously things are always changing in the Maldives. Having reviewed MAT website and a few other threads Im still curious about the current state of things. Are they hiring expat FOs at present? I would love to hear from someone who is based there right now?

Being a regular tourist to the Maldives I have over the years experienced both MAT and TMA seaplane transfers which were on the whole satisfactory. The latest visit however,in June/July this year, involving the transfer when, unbeknown to me, both companies had merged, was shambolic. We were bussed to the TMA terminal, our boarding cards taken from us, so when the flight was called we had no idea which flight we were allocated. Once this was resolved (our names called out) we were then bussed to the MAT terminal where we boarded a MAT aircraft (red but with no titles). Some luggage was "bumped" and arrived on a much later flight. The ground staff were polite but seemed to have no idea about how disorganised the process was.
Hopefully these transfer issues have since been sorted but it's not the sort of transfer service I would wish to experience again after a long and tiring flight from Europe.
