Maybe I missed it, but where are we at now then? Are we now to wait another year for the next announcement regarding the jet replacement? Or are Flybe still considering all the other possibilities with an announcement to follow shortly?
It wasn't that long ago that Jim French said that he wanted a 3 fleet airline in order to meet expansion plans and demand - 40 Q400s, 10-15 110 seaters (i.e. RJ100s for the time being), and 3-4 150 seaters. So how exactly does looking at the Embraer 195s fit these needs? Its only a 110 seater isn't it? So does this mean ERJ195s instead of RJ100s and keep on leasing 737s from Astr. for the next few years?
It would be nice to see a definite answer sometime soon.
