"Well if even the Loganair pilots are now going on record with their concerns, I would respectfully suggest my raising this subject amounts to a bit more than "conjecture"

 

Unfortunately you've been proved right, RileyBKing. They were so good when they first started.Maybe they've been expanding too fast,

if they say they are not safe should they fly them. very concerning 

I kind of think that it has not got to that stage yet but the pilots are going public before one has to refuse to fly.  Sounds to me that maintenance standards are slipping within Loganair and with planes as old as the Saab that is not a good thing.

Its only the "bus drivers" that are moaning so far, and like many drivers a lot of them haven't a clue what is genuinely unsafe to continue using and what is just a harmless inconvenience to the user. Just wait until the mechanics start whining that they're having to sign off on things they know they shouldn't, then you know its definitely time to take the boat.

^ My post was intended as rather tongue in cheek, but seeing as you insist. Being "up to scratch" and being fundmentally "unsafe" is two very different things.

 

Highly likely a spoof, but you get the gist:

Is Shetland Island Council looking after us? Can Shetland get a better link with other Transport operators? Are we stuck with Loganair?

Norwegian Air has now opened the sale for its Boeing 737 MAX transatlantic service at an introductory sale of $65 one-way, including taxes.

This summer, the airline expects to launch 10 new routes from Stewart International Airport, north of New York City; T.F. Green Airport in Providence, RI; and Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT, to Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

The new routes of the long-haul low-cost European carrier from Providence to Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Edinburgh and Shannon are the first-ever year-round European routes for Rhode Island’s largest airport. From Stewart, New York’s Hudson Valley airport, Norwegian will be the first carrier to provide European service with four routes to Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh and Shannon. Norwegian will also operate one route from Bradley, New England’s second largest airport, to Edinburgh.

Year-round service to Edinburgh from Stewart International Airport will operate daily beginning June 15 for the summer season and thrice weekly during the winter season; from Providence, flights will operate four times a week starting June 16 and twice weekly during the winter season; from Hartford, flights will operate thrice weekly beginning June 17, and twice weekly during the winter season. Days of operations will change between summer 2017 and winter season 2017/2018.

Service to Belfast from Stewart International Airport will be thrice weekly during summer and twice weekly during winter as of July 1; twice weekly from Providence as of July 2 during summer. Days of operations will change between summer 2017 and winter season 2017/2018.

Service to Dublin from Stewart International Airport begins on July 1 with daily flights during the summer and thrice weekly during the winter seasons; and from Providence, flights will operate five weekly flights starting July 2 during the summer and thrice weekly during winter. Days of operations from Providence will change between summer 2017 and winter season 2017/2018.

Service to Shannon from Stewart International Airport will begin on July 2 with twice-weekly flights, and from Providence on July 3 with twice-weekly flights. Days of operations will change between summer 2017 and winter season 2017/2018.

Year-round service to Cork from Providence will start on July 1 with three weekly flights during summer and a twice-weekly service during winter season. Days of operations will change between summer 2017 and winter season 2017/2018.
Summer season ends on October 28, and winter season 2017/2018 commences October 29.

“Our new, non-stop service will enable tens of thousands of new travelers to fly between the continents much more comfortably and affordably,” Bjørn Kjos, CEO and Founder of Norwegian, said in a statement.

According to Norwegian, these new transatlantic routes will be operated by the carrier’s Irish subsidiary, Norwegian Air International, and will predominantly use US-based crew from two new bases at T.F. Green and Stewart airports. Norwegian will also employ a crew from the new Edinburgh base in the UK.
