Swiss Equipment

I regularly fly BHX-ZUR. Up to last week the a/c was always the little Embraer 147(?); the cigar tube with 1 - 2 seating config, no leg room & little overhead storage.

Last week though we had a BAE 146 outbound & return. More interestingly there was no sign of any Swiss Embraers (other than one 170) on the stands at ZUR. Anybody know what's up? Somebody suggested that maybe they've all gone to Lufthansa or the leases are up & they've simply got rid of them (seems a bit implausable that they would also have spare 146's kicking around to take up the slack).

Whatever, it would be nice to never have to fly in one of those uncomfortable little barges again. Am I deluding myself??
