I think that even the older birds REI and REH are more reliable as well as having the most spacious and comfy cabins of the fleet since the refit. That said I've not had the pleasure of seeing FAS yet and probs won't until she is SNN or ORK based. I think I've mentioned before that I was involved with an airline that was considering taking what turned out to be SLL/M/N before they came over the pond. Lucky escape!
EHH has just pulled up here in MAN- what a tired old girl she looks.
