Good news on the surface of it, but I hope Flybe are aware of what dogs these Qs are. They have been overworked and not cared for properly, first by Colgan Air and now Republic. The dispatch reliability for Republic over the last 18 months has been shambolic. In fact they have been so unreliable that some communities have asked United to stop sending in the Q because of the number of long delays and cancellations it has caused. These 24 aircraft will be maintenance hogs. At least Flybe will treat them a lot better than Republic or Colgan did.
