Doubt the crews will be brought in on contract, vanair usually has plenty of experienced crews waiting in line. I hope the ATR has leather seats like the Dash-8.
Are they still operating a Caravan? What runs were they using it for.
Also, some Kiwi has imported an R-22 for transporting a Doctor around. Is it based in Vila? Hot & humid with two bums on seats struggling along at 70-80kts over the pond
