Flying Guy,
I agree with a few of your points. They do have a dedicated group of crews BUT as long as conditions are not improving drasticly people will move on just after they joined as contractors.
Only the 'old' stay as it is very convinient for them as most of them are on a fairly good pension.
Management sucks and as long as they do not treat people equal more will leave every other day. Remember that contractors have no rights whatsoever
and are treated with no respect by barely qualified office stuff in Iceland.
As long as they have second class employees (called contractors) tension will be high. It's a job for retired guys who do not depend on a regular salary and have no family life.
Flying was still great fun but everything else is a disgrace to aviation industry.
Have you recently checked the $ exchange rates ? Best thing is to leave while there're other jobs.
Best of luck to all of you!
