Astraeus FO Pay
 

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the starting salary for a FO with Astraeus is?

Cheers

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

Yeah, we can ask him on the way to Dublin in December.

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:ok:

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.

Over a year old but Hamrah answered a similiar question in Feb 2002.

Give you a rough idea though

Sagey

Does anybody know if some of the crews are based in Keflavik ?

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. :ok:

Hope this helps
