Repacement a/c for Eastern...latest?

Thought I read somewhere that T3 were evaluating a JE31/2/41 replacement a few months ago.Does anyone know what the latest is re this & what a/c they may have been evaluating(eg.DO328,ATR42,etc)?

Seems for the busier routes they are happy with Saab 2000s.Are they likely to advance beyond the 4 they currently have?

Finally will they get rid of all their Jetstreams in favour of new equipment,get impression that they are happy to continue using these for the medium term,suits their thin sectors well,although must confess I am getting fed up of seeing Jetstream after Jetstream on the ABZ approach...maybe that says much about my local than anything else...

Thanks guys/girls
