Oh for God sake tailscrape - you know as well as I do that DHL aren't going to replace a fleet of 757's with 375 x C208's!
What I'm saying is that if people are going to pay for type ratings they should be looking at modern aircraft like the PC12 and 208 which will more than likely start to substantially increase their presence in UK airspace from mid next year.
I will however suggest that some of the F27/SH360/HS748/Electra etc class operators might suffer some loss of market share - perhaps to a more frequent, smaller capacity Caravan fleet.
I'd hate to see young folks paying large sums of money to operators like Streamline and BAC Express for type ratings which might be in less demand in 12 months time. In fact I hate to see wannabes paying for them at all
