Great news for CityFlyer - I guess the only guys who will be disappointed were the few who hoped the company would disappear once the RJ leases ended and that they would be transferred to mainline. The scope agreement driving the 98 seat layout of the E190s suggests that BA intend to continue to keep CityFlyer quite separate from mainline. I'm intrgued though by the suggestion that they have purchase options on another 15 E jets. Surely LCY capacity constraints would limit their expansion out of the city itself. Whatever they do with them its good to see some investment in the industry right now and gives some certainty for CityFlyer crews long term.
