I fly WX about 4 to 6 times per month, and not once over the last year have I experienced any tech issues, not once, nada.
I have flown BEE about 12 times since they announced using those E195s and I can honestly say I've experienced 5 tech issues, 3 resulted in fairly significant delays, the other two they pulled both flights after stringing all the pax along for 3 to 4 hour tech delays. Me and pax left high and dry to try get back home to Essex. Ended up buying Are Lingus ticket to Gatwick and the other was Cityjet into City.
Those Cityjet avro's are dated but plenty of them and they do an excellent job ensuring tech events are limited or rare.
Whereas at Stobart Air, it's been a complete and utter disaster running those three E195s.
