How's Life at Astraeus? Future hiring?
So, Astraeus has been growing quite a bit. I have seen a number of articles and previous posts on Pprune about Astraeus and its growth. I have a series of questions:
1. What percentage of newhires are from the flight school training program vs. experienced 737 drivers?
2. I read about interest in Airbus airplanes potentially replacing the 737s. What is the timeline for the decision? Will Astraeus be looking for experienced Airbus pilots any time soon?
3. I read an article in Airliners World about the most heavily utilized 737-700 in the world - an Astreaus 737-700 (probably last summer). To what extent does this article show what it's like at Astraeus? I know that all charter operators have very hectic schedules during the summer.
4. Why would a 737 rated pilot choose to fly for Astraeus vs. other 737 opportunities at EasyJet, Ryanair or Bmibaby? What are the advantages and disadvantages of Astraeus vs. the other choices?
I would love to fly for Astraeus if I had the opportunity.
Cheers
