Well call me stupid but surely they can sort this out without postponing each week. Something this important with a deadline must take priority over many other things - It should be a case of locking the boardroom and bashing it out(oooooohh Matron!!!!!). .

Seems to have gone a bit quiet about the contract. If it is due to start in the next couple of days then time is getting a bit short. Anybody any news? A lot of pilots are hanging on it outcome .

I presume Friday 1 March is still the proposed date for an announcement? While most of the banter on this topic has been on the suitability of aircraft on this route, it looks as if (according to previous posts) there are the 3 players left in the game. However my main fear is if the contract is awarded to Atlantic Airways, therefore probably ruling out any jobs to any Brits and especially any locals. Somehow I feel that heads will have to roll in Vagar before we would hear any non Faroese voices on the R/T using the 'Faroeline' callsign.
After so many years of UK airlines operating this route which led to many local pilots getting their foot in the door with that first job, I fear that this golden opportunity will disappear for those of us from the North East who have low hours.
Anyway as they say there is no point getting worked up over something that is not under your control? After all the economics will decide and may the best player win!

Mister Geezer - Faroeline have at least one pilot with a very distinctive Antipodean accent! In fact the world seems to be slightly bizarre these days - Danish callsign, British accent; Logan, Antipodean accent; Eastflight, anything goes accent; and so on.....

Heard that Atlantic Airways is looking for crew from the local area around Aberdeen to support them in the project, if they succeed.. . . .As a pilot in that region I would not worry. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Well I'm amazed nobody has filled in the final chapter, so I'll do it.
The contract has been awarded to Flighline.
So, best of luck to them, I'm off to carry on looking for a job.

Well done Flightline. Keep up the good work.
