JustMe Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 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.

paulb Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 i would be amazed if those "bus drivers" did not know the state of the planes they use multiple times a day. even a bus driver will be able to tell when their transport is not up to scratch.

Ghostrider Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) ^ 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: http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Have-A-Weird-Sense-Of-Humor/1240622 Edited October 29, 2015 by Ghostrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skerriesinthewilderness Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 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.
