New airline to fly Finnish domestic routes?
Heard it on the radio this morning, that a new airline I believe it was EAT, EET or something similar is taking over some routes in southern Finland. The destinations they mentioned were EFMI, EFVR and perhaps EFSA. I believe it was a Swedish airline? By the way those routes are very good

Jep, And it used to be that the towns bought some seats from the airline so some of the seats were quaranteed moneywise all the time even with no pax. But unfortunately nobody has been succesfull to those airports on the longer run.
Those passengers are spoiled by Golden Airs extremely good cabin servise so they have to do better Lots of cabin service and a friendly smile in this case i guess from the FO

According to the web page above they have currently 7 pilots flying those J-31 aircraft and they have seen 25 pilots walking in and out from the company during the last two years!!!
Guess the fact above pretty much covers the issue if the EEE is one of those companies one would like to stay and build his/her career with...
Anyway, flying those J-31's would be an excellent step towards "real" pilot career and well worth of it. Having experienced both seats of this tiny commuter aircraft (w. nice & decent employer though) I can assure that it's plenty of fun & educating "non autopilot" flying, especially during (sometimes quite challenging) Scandinavian winter

I guess nobody's perfect, but the airline in question has had two aircraft written off within the last 3 years as a result of "operational misshaps" (crashes during landing). That makes quite a peek in the safety statistics when you have a fleet of 6 aircraft..
