The pay for FOs went up following the great FO exodus of early-2005 ppjn.com reflects this. You don't need Polski/Slovensko. When I was there the pilot community was comprised of Slovak, Czech, Polish, British, French, Spanish, Italian, Belgian, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Argentinian, Australian, Slovenian, Austrian, Danish and Greek.
The present fleet consists of 3x735s (replaced when the 73Gs arrive) 7x73Gs (the latest of which got the record for distance travelled on a 737-700 on its delivery flight) and 3x733s (some disappearing to Thomsonfly, check
www.aerotransport.org). Bases are BTS, BUD, KRK, PRG and VIE (opening in March). The presence in WAW is now pitiful with a mere daily from ORY originating in KRK. Wizzair got the drop on them in the capital unfortunately.
New financing secured for the next load of 73Gs. Future looks hopeful - just hope Ryanair don't arrive in that part of the world. The latest Director of Flight Ops is a top bloke, he knows how to fly and he's fair to the staff.
Nice people to work with - and a day without visitng Cirkus Barok in BTS is like night - jeden dzien bez cirkus barok jest jak noc.
