Interesting post. This caught my attention:

Why would your company use a service if it is run with an E95 but not if an ATR72 is on it? I always thought that this "Geez, it has props, must be a WW2 left-over" was more the approach my 80year old mother takes when it comes to using commercial air services.
What I am surprised about is that Stobart has not dumped the aircraft in question to BE and leased in a replacement as Flybe should be in some sort of breach of contract by providing an aircraft that breaks down all the time and would have to chip in some money to foot the bill.
