Might it have occurred to anyone that the 732's are an interim aircraft to get the show up and running? Just curious, because Ryanair and Easyjet also kicked off with 732's, but once they gained momentum quickly moved to a more modern fleet.
That was 10 years ago mate!
If they want cheap airframes then the -300 would have been the way to go, cheap to buy, better fuel effeciency and nearly as quiet as an NG.... but that would have meant the backer of this 'airline' having to put his hand in his pocket, something he is adverse to... he has a few old clunkers knocking about and FR is looking for a scrap yard to park their -200's...
