People seem to forget the inservice disaster that was the S2000:

Saab improves 2000 dispatch reliability

The design goal for the Saab2000 was set at 99,2 % dispatch reliability,

With crossair and dba it fell as low as 98%

Proposed changes were not successful, and dispatch issues continued, where fleet wide, it was still below 98.5% in the northern winter 01/02. This resulted Deutsch BD cancelling their remaining order

Deutsche BA suspends deliveries of Saab 2000

"DEUTSCHE BA HAS suspended further Saab 2000 deliveries to its fleet, after both it and Swiss carrier Crossair were hit by poor dispatch reliability during the harsh European winter. "
