Technically The Flying Stools first sentence was. advice. His/ her second sentence was a fact albeit based upon an opinion but nevertheless a fact unless it was a lie but technically not an opinion.
Do you seriously expect only facts from a rumour network just because you demand them?

Regardless the T&C-s and weak ISK one should definitely budget in the initial costs of moving to Iceland: have a look at the rental market (triple what you find as most landlords will want 2 months deposit plus first month of rent in advance). Also it won't hurt to budget in a second hand car: places to rent around KEF are scarce, majority of avail accommodation are in the Reykjavik area which is about 45-60 mins drive to KEF. bland.is is a good place to start

Those numbers are definitely at least 15-20% below what WOW was paying (more if no yearly scales - scale 7-8-9 capt was grossing close to 2mil average back in the day). Also not to mention the weak krona atm. This job is for established locals w accomodation and wheels and not for commuting expats.

I can only present to my colleagues this picture, which says it all -
In addition, the pay is terrible. I get that people need a job and you do what you have to do when needs must etc. However, looking every day of your working life like you are on the way to 'pilot night' at the gay bar, does not really do it for most people. If you are desperate beyond words, then Play Airlines is fine. If you have any choice whatsoever, then surely this must be near the bottom of the list.

In London Deliveroo uniforms are in demand because you can atleast use it to steal people’s watches while you drive a moped on L plates, maybe with this one you can do a dance act in Leicester Square to the kids queuing up outside the Lego store.
