Can't be that good. One FO has to supplement his income by singing every now and then

On the contrary, the singer is supplementing his paultry living by flying with Astraeus! He's also getting a few squid from Hamrah for giving him singing lessons, seems H is almost ready for the next tour "The howlin Banshee", the effect is very realistic I hear

Come on,Dan. Not up to your usual standard !
This is about salaries, not a particular bloke.

From personal experience, he's extremely keen to do the job well and, despite the other lucrative distractions, happens to be a bloody good operator too.

Let's concentrate on the Terms and Endearment, shall we ?

Rgds, Sleeve.

Sorry sleeve. No idea of the Ts and Cs, just a vain attempt at humour - hence the

PS Great singer!

There is worse. Another one of them is so poor that he has to run a tinpot website in his spare time. On the other hand, he does have a Very Important Captain to help him.

No, WRT cockpit crew it's crewed by Gatwick based and occasionaly Man based guys, usually on 1 week rotations. Cabin crew are Icelandic locals however.

When you say ´no´, of course what you actually meant was ´yes´.

There are 2 captains based in Iceland ´full time´ sharing a 3 week on 3 week off roster. They are non UK residents.

Oh yes, and there is also a brand new CAP509 FO (Ex Bond (Astraeus) training) who is Icelandic. Also I believe there may be another job offered to a similar Icelandic FO who is completing his training now. Subject of course to completing the course, etc.

And who know´s, if and when Iceland Express decide to expand there may be other opportunities.
