its a heap of ****e which looks good on the intial purchase price and fuel burn. But when you look at the maint and pilot costs makes it a highly expensive heap.

BAe will screw you for ongoing cover and depending what CAA your under crew training is a complete pain in the arse. The only Jar sim is coming off line in Jan and there is one more in the US which is apprently is a heap with the graphics 20 ft up out of line and has the dynamics of a king air.

Its good for about 1.5 hours full load if you have a divert within 100 miles. Any temps over 20 degrees or above 1000ft pressure alt you are screwed.

There are a few JAR engineers out there but they are few and far between and if you get the brit one that is out of work you will more than likely have a revolt amongst the pilots if he is working for you. Personally I would walk out the door with zero notice if you took him on.
