Just noticed that IAG have a E190 showing a future delivery on the last page of IAG's 2Q 2015 report.
IAG - International Airlines Group - Quarterly Reports
This wasn't showing when the same information, which is no longer available online, was published in the 1Q 2015 results. I am guessing this is destined for BACF. I wonder if the other 15 E190 options that IAG have will be converted to orders over the next few years, or maybe converted into orders for E-JET E2 aircraft

BA CityFlyer E170 Intake
Hey guys,
Saw the ad for the intake by CTC. Would anyone be so kind to explain how it works? I have 3K hours as an FO in an airline, but not rated on the EJet. Do i have to pay for my own training? Whats the average take-home salary for a month/year? Hows the tests/interview like? What are the air ticket benefits like?
Thanks

According to the site Jethro's Fleet listings. BACF have leased a 82 seat AR8 from Cello Aviation from 17SEP-17OCT
BA Cityflyer Fleet List
BA Cityflyer Fleet List
Someone said above that the pax on LCY-Palma in summer were pretty much the same people as the rest of the year to the business destinations. Well, that included us this year, and it seemed mostly true (+ wives + kids). Although I think on this flight the Purser was the only one in the cabin wearing a tie.
Pleasant atmosphere on board, a world away from a Night Ibiza from Gatwick, in fact apart from a few murmers from the kids it was a remarkably refined experience. Less than two hours outbound flight time, and could have been about 4 hours door to door.
Significant load in Club, especially on the outbound. Not quite clear what you get for an effective doubling of the fare in Club. No lounge at LCY, same 2+2 seating on the Embraer, even the Economy catering is a meal both ways, plus drinks etc, so I couldn't quite see what the distinction is.
Surprising service, which seemed somewhat inverted, that meals were first to be distributed, followed after some considerable time by drinks; on BA mainline it is surely the other way round, I wonder why the difference. Among other things it meant the bulk of the flight is done with empty meal trays in front of you, particularly difficult for those with lap infants. Just two cabin crew on the 100-seat E190, with the one up front looking after Club, is a considerable workload for the aft crew member.
Skyflyer Packs for the children were handed around. Some of us are long enough in the tooth to remember the Junior jet Club, well the kid's flight log book concept is still in there and alive. I don't know if the Captain would still consider signing it like in the old days (do any of you ?).
On the return there were BA Cityflyer Embraers on charters to Glasgow and to Edinburgh in Palma at the same time, and the three aircraft were lined up in echelon on remote stands which would have made an interesting PR photo
Question for the tech team, but do the BA Embraers have three supplementary oxygen drop-downs for each twin seat ? I understood it was certain seats only that allowed lap infants to be in the row. The seat allocations may cater for this but with 2+2 seating and parents sat either side of the aisle, or one behind the other, kids were getting handed round during the flight, and yet the safety briefing and card makes no mention of where has this facility.
Speaking of seat allocations, bit disappointing that there were two elderly arthritic pax sat in the emergency exit row, who presumably said Yes to their additional briefing but were obviously (when they tried to stand up) not capable of handling the responsibilities, and just saw it as extra legroom. Now that boarding cards are not checked by the cabin crew on embarking, they have no way of knowing once everyone's sat down - but the reservation system has all the API detail, and surely should not allocate these seats to those aged over 70.
Little Miss WHBM (aged 2.75) would like whoever sources the BA GSE at LCY to have some better way of securing the mobile steps at the rear to the aircraft, it's a bit daunting at that age to disembark stepping onto that swaying platform.

Not sure that I like the ageist comment in the last post. I am over 70, regularly fly and am quite capable of handling the duties required, should they arise, of an emergency exit row seat. Having clocked up 100,000+ miles year until I retired a couple of years ago, I consider that my experience of flying far out-weights the question of age when it comes to acting effectively in an emergency exit row seats.
However, if as you say, the passengers in question had mobility problems, the cc or the captain should have re-seated them for the safety of all the passengers - by not doing so, they were clearly in breach of their "duty of care" to the passengers and I would have been tempted to raise this with the crew at the time or BA customer service on my return.

WHBM Cityflyer crews are worked hard as you saw on the Palma flight , this also extends to the Ibiza, and Malaga flights, in fact any of the bucket and spade routes from LCY . In club on those routes a good Purser will get the food out first as this will occupy the pax and give them something to do, because if the purser did the bar first the club pax would try and drink the aircraft dry within minutes and keep ordering drinks giving the purser very little time to do a food service . Unfortunately those routes attract a lot of chav class club pax who are only interested in champers or bubbles or whatever stupid name they think is "in" for champagne. The bucket and spade routes need a third crew member onboard but cityflyer management are 100% against it .

Dash 8's for cityflyer?
According to the pilotsjobnetwork page for BA Cityflyer, under the orders section, they have 10 Dash 8's on order?
I can't find anything about this anywhere else on the web.
Is this true? If so when will they arrive? Operated by BA Cityflyer or will they be farmed out as they are doing now with the S2000 from Eastern Airways?
Anyone in the know care to comment?

No idea on DH8s for CFE
However they don't farm out S2000s, CFE lease aircraft and crew from eastern, the aircraft don't have anything to do with BA, they are just painted in BA livery for the purposes of the lease.
