I suspect West Atlantic have no need for 200-hr frozen ATPL holders at the moment, with some ATP-rated and experienced crews out there looking for work (btw a number of which are ex-WestAir Sweden). And they won't lower the 1000-hr requirement for the
Electra (I know because I tried!)
That said, I agree that the West Atlantic sponsorship is an awesome scheme that should have PPL holders fighting to apply! And cargo is more fun than flying SLF anyway...
Cheers
