I doubt that the Flybe EMB195s suffer more unserviceabilities than comparable airline fleets and in recent weeks on time performance has generally been very good for all three SEN-based aircraft operating the Flybe timetable. The fact that Flybe have been able to substitute a Titan aircraft rapidly both times they had a tech problem recently is reassuring. If they cancelled flights instead of doing so I would be more concerned regards flying with them in future.
I'll give them a go and see for myself what the performance is like in the real world.
