They are indeed due to start ops next week I believe. They have all of their crews (European Air Charter) attending training in Madrid, then off to start long haul to Hong Kong.
The guy in charge, *******, is a slippery b*****d, and would be very weary of him. Anyone flying for them, I would strongly advise getting a signed piece of paper in your hand with your monthly pay before commintting yourselves.
Good luck
