Note that cargo-version Tupolev 204s with cheap Russian crews will soon be employed out of Liege using Heavy Lift's ticket...
I guess that is one way to contain costs - employ cheap Russian crews in Russian-built aircraft and supplant "expensive" Euro crews...
Personally, I'd love to fly one of those 757 look-alike TU204s - nice Western EFIS package and a ram-horn yoke (kinda like the Hawkers) - looks like fun... And I'll bid one ruble under the Russians for the same contract if you train me...
Best of luck to all involved...
