Is the E195 generally an expensive aircraft to operate or is it just the lease costs that BE had that made them lose money?
With the Q400 fleet they replaced more expensive ones with cheaper second hand ones, could they not have done that with the E-jets?

The E175 is often seen on routes that the Q400 can easily do, just with 10 more seats, and the E175 is replacing the E195 on routes that need a jet, but with 30 less seats. From an outsiders view, it doesn't make sense.

What's the second hand market for E195's now the C-series is growing?
