4 x B757-200 / B737NG leaving us soon / 4 x A320 / 4x F50
Ordered 2x A321 plus 2 B767-300 ex Canadian. Later next year 2x A330 but this is to be confirmed. Also talking about a freighter service with A300F or B767F.

Routes with nice long layovers, apart from London and Amsterdam where you will be thrown occassionally into the sweat boxes.. Hanover 1 week layover, very lucrative. FRA/AMS very nice. PVG/BKK/DXB/DEL/IST/MOW plus a whole host of domestic flights (don't forget that it takes nearly 3 hours for some domestic flights in KZ)

Lifestyle fantastic, people superb to live and work with. Clubs really good, scenery outstanding, a chance to work and fly in some of the most interesting neighbourhoods.... yes ok the weather can be hard going in the winter, but think of all those clear ski slopes. Summers, hot n dry but u get a great tan.
