Scotair is feeling the pinch in these difficult times. This year the company has closed it's loss making Luton base with mandatory base changes for those who wanted to keep their jobs. Planned expansion into Scotland has not run smoothly. Direct competition with British European from EDI into LCY eventually forced both companies into a code share on the route and Scotair's INS-AMS route was cancelled after a few weeks. I also believe that a second aircraft added at SAM has also been moved away due to poor loads forcing more mandatory base changes for any who want to keep their job. It has also been rumoured for along time that the CBG-AMS route is struggling, but as the company HQ is at Cambridge with a large number of pilots and other employees based there a company relocation would prove costly.
A few FO's have already been made redundant while others pilots have been asked to take unpaid leave or part time contracts. I believe BALPA is currently involved with the company.
