Yes there's wifi but there are so many other problems with the accommodation that good wifi can't make up for it.
I can't imagine that you'll find just one contractor who is happy here. Contractors are leaving in big numbers.

I really start to wonder about the people posting on here. Are you guys actually there? I've been there myself and spoke to pilots and they're not pessimistic at all about the job and conditions.

In the posts I've written I know what I'm talking about and see it every day. What you have to consider is if you are a contractor or a local or on a local contract.
A special set of rules seems to rule for contractors.
Also the housing they offer is of a low standard and nothing is done about it.
Don't want to go in to details but there's a reason why people leave after a few months..
People always looking for something better as soon as they have joined but it is a paycheck...

Parc need to tell the Wow management that the current accomodation is unacceptable.

Do they do a contractors contract direct to your company?

Any current updates on wow? Spoken to a few old colleagues and they seem to like it. Salaries seem to be amongst the best being offered compared to UK. Cold and wet but company seems to be young and forward thinking. Command upgrade with experience around a year. Is this bullshit?

Mesh,
Upgrades are fairly rapid if you have the experience and like any airline as long you tick the right boxes.
Cold and wet? Summer is mild. Winter bloody cold with winds that cut your blood supply off. Winter flying challenging due to weather. The cost of living is expensive.

1.1m ISK net average pm (no kids), an additional ~140k ISK into a pension fund of my choice and 36 weekdays of paid vacation per year with 5 consecutive requested off days pm on the local contract for a skipper is not too bad now, is it?

Easy’s Pension isn’t good - 7% but when you add loyalty and perf bonuses in the overall package is a country mile better than the Wow ‘commute’ contract. The Icelandic local contract looks much better but I’d say permanent residence in Iceland would be an acquired taste for many given the climate. The Wow offering is miles ahead compared with the likes of SAS IRL, Wizz etc.
