They're all at MAN and cover BHD/EDI/GLA/SNN/SOU/JER/ABZ/IOM and the odd trip to CDG and/or BRU when we're desperate!.
Hopefully they'll never leave the fleet - I agree with a comment made by the boss of Horizon in a recent Flight International article that the era of the regional jet is over - As they age, the manufacturers warantees expire and with the increase in fuel prices they've become unprofitable on routes of a certain length. That's one of the reasons why Horizon and presumably FLYBE went for the Q400......
Not that a Dash could do any of this and slightly off the subject, but it beats trying to squeeze the guts out of an RJ100 on a 3hr EDI-PMI or MAN-FAO run with 110!
Mind you..... what defines a regional jet??? You could call the RJ100 '' 4 leaks held together with an electrical fault!''
