I presume Friday 1 March is still the proposed date for an announcement? While most of the banter on this topic has been on the suitability of aircraft on this route, it looks as if (according to previous posts) there are the 3 players left in the game. However my main fear is if the contract is awarded to Atlantic Airways, therefore probably ruling out any jobs to any Brits and especially any locals. Somehow I feel that heads will have to roll in Vagar before we would hear any non Faroese voices on the R/T using the 'Faroeline' callsign.
After so many years of UK airlines operating this route which led to many local pilots getting their foot in the door with that first job, I fear that this golden opportunity will disappear for those of us from the North East who have low hours.
Anyway as they say there is no point getting worked up over something that is not under your control? After all the economics will decide and may the best player win!
