Loganair
ABO944,
To answer your question -
LOG is probably the best place to kick start your career, especially if you are a minimum hours type. A couple of winters in the Western and Northern Isles and you'll be ready for anything...
The Saab is a good first type - loads of procedural approaches - loads of cross-winds - loads of hands on flying and take-offs and landings - Islay and Sumburgh and just amazing fun...
Nightstops in Shetlands/Orkneys/Knock/Inverness/Londonderry. 500 hours a year of amazing fun and when the weather is stunning it doesn't get any better...
I hear they are losing loads of pilots to the larger operators so I would say recruitment is positive...
Best Of Luck
Sean
