Any chance of LM picking up some of the boat-load of South American E-Jets that are about to come on the second-hand market? Avianca are already retiring their 10 E190, and Azul are about to replace all their E1s with the E2. It could be a cheap source of aircraft which they could well need as most ex-flyBMI ERJs are over 20 years old and will probably need replacing at some point. Also, despite the fact that they are cheaper to run than the S2000 (which probably isn't saying much), they are not very cheap aircraft to run. There is also the benefit of higher capacity which could be used on many of LMs new routes like GLA-DUS and they could also use them on trunk routes like INV-MAN with reduced frequency to free up the a/c for other routes.
