IslandAir, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
Oban as a hub - yes. As a hub for where? Where are the spokes? What aircraft can operate competitively out of the destination airports? What makes you say a 146 is "laughable"? Why do you think an F27 would do it, whereas a Dash7 is "nice"? Put simply (just so you can understand), you don't operate an aircraft for an
airport. You operate an aircraft for a
route.
As for £500 per hour - well, bite me. What's your figure?
You keep coming up with all sorts of nebulous claims, and don't seem prepared to substantiate any. You keep claiming that the views of most people on this thread are nonsense, without putting forward your reasons for thinking so. You appear to have none of the experience of a pilot, none of the analytical powers of a business entrepreneur, and all the skills of a politician. In short, you come across as an idiot.
