Well I drive 'em, and believe me, I wouldn't unless I was happy that they're perfectly safe. The Q4 is a great aircraft, fantastic engines, completely overpowered and very fast for a turboprop. It also has huge electrical redundancy, and Flybe's training and maintenance standards are up there with the best. She will indeed be flying one of the newest aircraft out there - they are still being delivered!

One of the few downsides from a pax point of view is that landings can be quite firm (due to aircraft geometry and landing gear design) but rest assured it's perfectly safe.

Feel free to PM me if further reassurance required!
