I positioned with them last week and had crossed paths before with the f/o.
Sounds a lovely little outfit with 2 jetstream 31 (I think) based at Blackpool.
Some scheduled stuff to Belfast via the Isle of Man ,Leeds and Paris (there was more but I cant remember)
They also do subs so you could end up anywhere
Pay was good £30k for f/o which is not bad for a turboprop
hope this helps.

p.s The full company name is PLATINUM AIR 2000 -god knows how they got away with that!

I think they've got 3 J31's now plus a few KingAirs. I thought the HQ was at Northolt with some operations going on out of Biggin. I seem to remember the main man was called John Mason.

Got a couple of friends who work for them, they seem very happy and pay seems to be better than other schedueled turbo prop companies around. However I know that you need to be very flexible as there is no real roster and also some ops work involved.
