Makes you wonder why Flybe are so keen on them?
The new BACON spin off is the thing that most interests..they will carry on using RJ100s and no doubt keep scraping the tails on a weekly basis when all the merry-go-round with deserting crews happens...and of course the leases are up soon and the chance of BACC letting them fly the A318 is negligible.
Spares backup for companies that operate the A319/20/21 must also weigh massively in favour of the A318 too. E195 look nice though....
