The problem with the E95s is that they're old and were originally planned to be sold by Flybe by the ex-CEO and ex-ex-ex-(I think) COO who had the brilliant idea of parking them in the beautiful
salt-rich atmosphere of NQY where they happily corroded for a few years until the ex-CEO conceded that he couldn't find a buyer so better start using them.
It should come as no surprise that their technical reliability is a bit lacking despite extensive renovation by the BE lads and lasses.
