Cool

Was a logan Twotter Driver until 2003. As far as I'm aware, the Otters are not going anywhere. The Islander Air Ambulance is going at the end of the current contract at March end.

Because most Otter Captains were dual rated on the Islander Ambulance at Glasgow they have had to relocate some of them to the SAAB fleet, aswell as a couple of top female Otter F/Os. Good move for them as it finally means the F/Os can get their ATPLs issued at some point. Something that will not happen on the Twotter fleet due CAA regs at the moment even though it is 'officially' multi-crew operated, it is still a 'single-crew' aircraft etc, etc.

I believe that 2 new F/Os have just been taken on , both female, to replace the two that are leaving for the SAAB and are training as we speak!

Good luck to all.
