Well, currently Air Astana has only about 32 airplanes including the new low cost part. According their business plan they wanted to have already 44 aircraft.
Captains and First Officers are flying max duty time and there is no stand by anymore but actually they don’t need as many pilots probably or it’s just it fill the places for leaving pilots and that’s a lot.
Last summer about 20-30 local first officer were leaving.
Some new guys without experience joining now but things take time and organization is poor.
i can’t suggest to fly there, as said earlier in one post, the good days are gone. Now it’s just punish and blame....
