Mmmm... the Q400 is probably too big for Loganair and can't see Flybe adding an extra type (Saab 340) to their fleet. Heard that for short island hops the Q400 is not the best aircraft from an economic point of view. Plus if it can't take a decent load off 09/27 in Sumburgh then it will be as much use to Loganair as a chocolate fireguard but then again a 70 odd seater taking only 50 odd (for example) is still better than what exists at the moment.
*If* this is true then I hope the Logan crews have a better transition than the ex BACX crews.
