Nobody knows what is happening about DHC8 fleet some say it will be gone by the end of the year, others say it will be gone by 2005, others seem to think its the only fleet close to making any money your guess is as good as mine. There are some routes that if an 8 was used on then maybe there would be profit to be made ie. IOM to LTN as this service is done by the 146 and regularly carries just 15 to 20 pax BUT of course nothing is allowed to upset the dinosaur mentality of the island base.
