Sounds like someone has more aircraft than they know what to do with. As this is a rumour forum any truth in the plans to abandon the 195's altogether in favour of the 400's as times are hard??
Re. the Greek Q400 thing - sounds more to me like good business, finding a creative (and presumably profitable) use for what would otherwise have been spare aeroplanes and crews during a downturn.
At least on the basis of their
PR machine, Flybe seem to be riding out the downturn pretty well, will be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves at LGW, SOU, EXT, BHX, MAN, EDI, INV, JER, CWL and others (LBA, NQY, MSE!) when the upturn starts to properly show itself.
