The presenter is Bruce dickinson, who is the lead singer with Iron Maiden which, I believe, is a 'Heavy Metal' band.

Are you sure?

He was flying for Astraeus before they took delivery of the B757, surely?

If Hamrah says that he flies 757s then I think that we can be fairly certain that he flies 757s.

As someone who works for Astraeus as well I can safely say he flies the 757. He may well have flown the 737 but that was before I joined the company, I have only known him to fly the 757.

He says himself he says the 757 1min10 in.

I'm nearly sure he flew the 737 before though, remember photos of him on here with John McMahon (sp?) and cabin crew all in uniform, when he flew the charter to Dublin with PPRUNE fans for an Iron Maiden concert.

This is all I've seen of the series as I keep missing it but looking forward to DVD and all those repeats for years to come

How often does Bruce fly for Astraeus? Is he on a normal-ish roster?

I think so. Apparently his flying holidays include singing live with Maiden.
