hi - I am not a pilot - so don't have your language - but Astana, as with other airlines are tight with regard to money. so sometimes people housed in Astana itself may not get hot water in months. but since pilots are usually billeted in the Hilton that does not feature for you personally - just evidence of tight mindedness and less than real attention to the minions' needs. Guy who teaches aviation english is a loud canadian. find him and hear what he has to say. no leeway in HR dept if your needs don't match their needs and wants. found them to be particular
as usual pilots are seen as the major staffing expense - needed but a pain. Air Astana wants to grow with big plans in the region so may be worth the candle for a career move/build
