That's correct. The other two, still ex-Flybe, are due shortly and they then too will become EI- registered. The current two G- registered (EF/EH) are currently leased from Flybe and may return to them. I say may, as obviously Flybe are also disposing of this fleet as soon as the leases are over and are all expected to have left Flybe by January 2020 - (Thankfully!)
With no extension on the Flybe / Stobart Air franchise partnership looking likely, it's going to be interesting to see how that fleet gets used. Short term ACMI and Ad-Hoc charter work may well better suit these E195s better than a "heavy" scheduled timetable.
