Asking around, all that’s been said is pretty much on the (base)-ball.
The main company is based in Vienna and used to have a lot of ex-pat (mostly Australian) pilots with them.
There is an Italian offshoot (Lauda Air Italy) based at Milan, Malpensa, again with quite a few ex-pat pilots and engaged mainly in charter flights to the Caribbean.
Sadly, so memories recall, it was one of the Austrian 767’s that crashed in the Far East after one of the engines went into reverse in the climb.
It is also rumoured that neither company pays well and treats the crews like slaves.
