Just this bit B25. Most people would take offense as it suggested Milti's lady friend is a cheap tramp.

B25's heart is in the right place, he just lacks a bit of tact.. like me.

Yes well, these airlines are not shoestring operations. They are very well run airlines.

What irks me the most about these companies is that they do not pay their pilots enough.

Cyprus Airways pays even less unfortunately, while there is an abundance of middle management koumbaroi of Christofias dead wood and complete good for nothing waste of space!

Cyprus Airways will sadly fold and a new airline will take its place. That is the only way all the workers can be sacked cutting the shit out and thus allowing the new airline to re-employ who it wants whilst the other leeches piss off to the unemployment lines and good riddance to them. :roll:

Just make sure you have a good lawyer and that all your personal affairs such as your will, have been filed in a secure place within your solicitor's office.

You have a responsibility to your family so don't ever forget that!

Sorry to disagree with you, but when Concordes were still flying, Cyprus Airways pilots were earning more than Concorde pilots.

I know a few CY pilots, including one who also now owns numerous Chinese & Japanese restaurants here, all financed by his CY pilots salary!

Christmas flights anywhere are always more expensive than at any other time.
From experience I always pre book my Cyprus flights, Im about to book from 18th December to Jan the 1st and I looked at CYA , the cost, £458, of course I shall book with EasyJet and save my self £188.00

EasyJet price exactly the same days and similar hours £270, yet our ...so called national Plonkers want £458.

Lets add the luggage cost on Easyjet another £36, making a total of £306, still considerably less than CYA.

I could understand if CYA was profitable but its not, so where do all these extra charges go to.

That's not what I heard. FO is 5000 pm and Captains are at 10,000 pm.

Market is 20,000 pm plus.

Having said that, I was offered a job in Greece with Olympic Airways in 1996 on B737-400 as an FO with 300 hours. Start was 450,000 drachma per month which equates to 500 AUD per week. I would have taken it if it were not for another opportunity.

How did I get that? My Godsister's husband was a top surgeon and knew the PASOK Minister of Health. I sent the Minister my CV, and got a phone call from Olympic for an interview and sim check. Had a contract in front of me within days!

I know that in the late 90's most of them were on over CY£90K including all their allowances.
