Thanks a lot in advance guys!

HQ in Hartfield, East Sussex.
Owned by a Zimbabwean chap, Mike Kruger.
Fly DC8 and 747 classic, based Ostend (?), registered in Ghana.
Lots of Zimbabweans working for them.
They fly scheduled cargo ops in and around Africa. Seem like a nice bunch, and I've met quite a few bods who work for them. However, purse strings are very tight at the moment due (in part) to the tragic accident in Halifax last year (caused by a faulty roll rate indication?).

Hi there,
Send your aplication in via their website at www.mkairlines.com apperently their pay structure has changed and the crew now get paid a retainer and a daily rate for when they are at work, they seem to be working for 2-3 weeks at a time and then about the same time at home thats on average it may ofcourse vary with demand and crewing logistics.
The chaps do seem to get command rather quickly but with their current safety record this might get put on hold I would think.
Anyway give it a go !
Good luck,
Tt

Does MK have a pilot base at Manston? I know most of the crews are Zimbabwean or South African with bases down South I presume. Are any pilots based in the UK?
Also, what's the likelihood of getting hired onto the DC-8 vs. the 747 as an FO? What is the minimum experience (hours) required for that type of position?
Cheers
