Regarding BACF - my (probably out of date now) understanding was the Scope agreement with the unions means they cannot fly aircraft with more than 100 seats (hence the reason their 190s are marked SR - Seating Restriction - and limited to 98 seats. If that's still in force there is no need for the 195 and the extra capacity. To be honest, I think the 190 is pretty perfect for them anyway, you would probably see the 190 E2 more than anything.
That rule no longer applies.
