Where are all the shorts pilots

Since the demise of emerald / Streamline, and the scaling down of BAC following the sell off, is there any Shorts crews out there anymore looking for a rewarding career in hauling courier bags?

Same here! I always enjoyed flying the ugly old thing. Just make sure you don't have to make the choice of heat or icing kit.

Just bored seeing AN26's, and MNG FK27's. There is definitely scope for the Shed fleet to do more, but didn't think that there was that many rated pilots looking for something new.

Are there any decent Shorts 360s sitting around without operators? I know of a few companies in the United States that would buy them if they are in decent condition, especially 360-300s.
