Ad for new AFX Chief Pilot in Flight - What is AFX like?

[LAVDUMPER]

Recently saw the want-ad for a new chief pilot at Airfreight Express (AFX) - a 747 cargo operator out of LHR.

Questions:

1. How many 747s does AFX operate?
2. Where do they fly?
3. What are the conditions like - payscales, morale, working conditions, etc.?
4. Would you recommend working there?

Cheers

Do they actually get rated F/Os? Im quite keen on the idea of AFX but my mount is only a medium jet cargo.

To date its been Captains sitting in the RHS(old ones at that!!) but with the new 747 coming next month................??!!(or is it next month...) perhaps yer man might have to think otherwise.

Questions 1 and 2 were answered now how about question 3 and 4!

"Do they actually get rated F/Os? "

I heard most of the guy's are ex BA off the Classics there- so i'd imagine the FOs are just past 60yr old Skippers!
