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?
Flybe were paying about 50% more per month than an average lease for an A320.
An amazing deal made by old Frenchy and his lap dog.
