MK Airlines

Anyone have any info on MK Airlines, present requirements and if they require any pilots?

I heard they were going all JAR, and switching from the Ghana register and my need drivers.

Their cadets train at my FTO

From wh

Their cadets train at my school

From what I understand you need a bit of experience (exept for local cadets of course)
Few IR instructors from our school joined the airline but they were A320 type rated but with no other experience than light piston.
Probably worth giving a try.

My Apologies, just ignore what I said then.

From what I have heard you get paid only for the days you work. Think you get paid a flat US$ rate per day of duty but once you total up your earnings - it is not that great considering you are driving heavy metal. Might have changed since then though.

I think you do tours and the company will fly you from home to where the aircraft is and you will carry on from there.

The aircraft are registered in Ghana. Crews work some very long days since the Ghanaian FTL system is somewhat relaxed to the UK version! I think they still have a pool of pilots waiting for course start dates.

Shared B&B with an MK pilot last month during groundschool, they're all doing JAA groundschool as the 747 fleet is being transferred to the UK register.

the 747 fleet is going to fall under jar-ops because of the crash they had in halifax.

i have heard, if they do not transfer to a european/recognised register, the likes of north america would not allow them in their airspace on the ickey mouse one they have been operating under to date....allegedly

Irishrover check you PMīs about Tīs & Cīs
A friend of mine is FE there and so I know some things, but believe me itīs not the best there, thatīs for sure - but you can have even more worse somewhere else. They had a bad crash in Halifax. The crash was the fourth for the cargo company in 12 years and the second involving fatalities. All three previous crashes were in Nigeria.
