Uk AOC for just three a/c, even with expansion it would be too expensive. Also, UK FTL's allow for 12 hours min rest, IAA FTL's allow for 11 hours and as mentioned previously what about post holders etc.
Also, those going on about ONLY 1000 turbo prop hours, please remember that the EI Part A Gen or its equivalent allows for turbo prop command with 2000 hours total time or 2500 hours for jet command from memory. Neither of which has ever happened due to seniorty. The company will do a deal and so will IALPA, its their style and style of most union/company relationships. Start poles apart and meet in the middle.
