Not a chance. Years ago we flew the Glasgow - Fort William, Oban, Rothesay etc. helicopter service with a 206 and that had to be heavily subsidised by the Highlands & Islands Development Board. We were then the biggest scheduled helicopter network, which annoyed BA somewhat (OK, they used a bigger helicopter!). That ran for well over 4 years.

Now if a tiltrotor were available.....
