Well lalbak,

I can offer you a view from 2014 when I finished working for BT in November and also what I have heard from my excolleagues recently.

The situation was very dramatical for captains on Q400 as they had a real shortage which continues until nowadays. Reason: simple. Too many flight hours(90h./m.) and no future on the jet within the company.
Captains on Q400 were trying to get a command on jet (B737CL) however this was impossible as there is still a huge amount of CPTs on CL so the only way was to get command on a jet in other company. Most of the captains went to Turkey.
Offer: stable roster, almost every day back in Riga, expect 5-9 overnights. Depends on the summer/winter schedule and instructor rating, if any.
