It's not a question of spare a/c - more about manpower. V.stretched on flightdeck and I think engineers. Certainly got no engineers based in CWL, not sure if there are q400/E145 dual rated ginger beers at Flybe. If not, 2 sets of engineers to be sent down to CWL.
145 went tech sat morn with nosewheel steering failure. Questions must be asked if it's still there without it being looked at. Maybe it's been sold?!!!
