I fly on the Q400 regularly for work reasons and will continue to do so. (Not sure I would fly with SAS)
Is there a logic behind that statement?
It seems unusual that a single airline would suffer from a similar fault 3 times in the space of a couple of months that apparently hasn't affected the rest of the worldwide fleet. Perhaps a better statement would be that I would fly in the Q400 quite happily, but would want to know why this issue was affecting a particular airlines' fleet. Is it, as has been suggested, the deicing fluids, different SOPs from other airlines, different conditions from other airlines?
As for logic, SAE, Quantas, Flybaboo and other operators seem to have had no serious problems with their fleet, so given a choice I think I'd rather fly with them for the time being thanks (although not sure how useful Quantas are going to be commuting around Europe)
