Dorniers: really?
Personally I doubted the decision to acquire the 228s from the outset; surely the Cessna 208 EX Grands would make much more sense: you get 3 news ones for the price of 1x228; lowest operating cost; least number of empty seats flown in low season, but able to operate high frequencies in high season. The passengers would take to them instantly and the Pratt engine is bulletproof, as the CAA recognise, and EASA is about to.
I think entry into service would be much easier too.
Maybe that's what you actually mean by bush flying operations, Johnm?
