Only about 50% of flights are on the Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter Dash 8s, there are still A319/A320s operating many flights, generally weekends and midweek
Well, all three flights on Friday were with the Dash 8. For a Friday that surprised me.
On a seperate note, EWGs time keeping is becoming noticeably poor these days. Out of 21 Eurowings/Germanwings rotations I have flown this year 9 were in excess of 15 minutes behind schedule of which 5 of the 9 were in excess of 1 hour. Having looked into it, the primary cause seems to be that in their quest for maximum utilisation an insufficient buffer exists to cater for delays.
