I C, 2 F/O I believe. Several with Jet2 at Newcastle, and over the last year. Several to BA, the Gulf, 2 or 3 to Almaty.....in fact still scattering to the four winds. These are pilots who know how to work hard and take pretty awful conditions with great aplomb!

Astraeus

How strange. Has anyone noticed EVERY mention of Astraeus post-failure has been excised from Pprune altogether? Every subsequent thread removed. An eminently forgettable airline long overdue for the block, but also totally removed from history!

See how far a search gets you!

Got to disagree with you Notso about being a forgettable airline. The only time I flew Astreaus was on a charter to Lisbon on a B757 from Gatwick and enjoyable it was too. Flight on time, leather seats, good seat pitch, excellent breakfast - if you can call airline breakfasts that - and very friendly crew.

"An eminently forgettable airline"? I beg to disagree. I've flown with them on six occasions from BHX/MLA & EMA/MLA and found them to be far above Ryanair, Easyjet, etc. in every aspect, from a passenger's point of view.

He is the vocalist of Iron Maiden, Airline Captain on 737/757's, writer. international fencer, author, screenwriter, actor and has started Cardiff Aviaion at St Athan. The kind of "chap" that many of us would like to emulate but don't have the talent.
