To be fair, the SAS guys got the first ones which all ended up being "remanufactured" to correct various design shortcomings (like stiffening the fuselage).

However, the flybe ones have been pretty awful, and continue to be a problem. I can well remember one in particular, with only delivery miles on it, having two generators fail, various avionics failures, props that went out of balance if you looked at them funny, and a dead DVS system. And that was after only a week on the line.

It is an aircraft built to a (very cheap) price, and it shows. Hate to think what they will be like in ten years.
