jmc-man When easyJet started under Air Foyle's AOC, they, Air Foyle that is, had no financial input whatsoever, apart from satisfying the CAA. Non of the costs incurred were met by Air Foyle. This was also the case when they assisted Air World, Sabre, Color Air, Air Scandic etc. Only the 737-300 operation under the name SUNJET were costs covered in-house. I doubt very much if NOW will call Astraeus for anything - there's no need to. NOW appear to be building a fine team from what I've heard
