1 First one is supposed to be due Late Summer (September?) with another 3 following at a rate of 1 each month after that, I think about 14 in total, but don't know about the timescale overall... remains to be seen if options will be taken later on, but judging by track record if they are unreliable and go tech at the slightest sniff of damp weather the company will end up with 40 of them.
2 forecast is 3 ish
3 replacing Astraeus 73s initially, but rumour control says that the Astraeus contract has been extended, so who knows?
4 Straight swap, no more money, but a nice shiny new type that no-one else anywhere in the world is special enough to be allowed to fly
5 You think it will be in Flybe colours?
