Loganair currently have MANJ, MANL and MAUD.
They should all be gone by the end of July. This will leave MANE and MANF at SEN in storage. Their due return dates are Jan 2006 for MANF and April 2006 for MANE - unless we can find some mug (!) to take them off our hands!

Dash-7, you also forgot G-MANE & G-MANF which are lurking at SEN.
They are not due for handback until April/Jan 2006 respectively and as such still belong to BACX. Mind you, I can't see them going far in the meantime!
Got any good rumours about Embraer 170/190's for BACX?

Are BACX having problems with the RJ100s at the mo'? I noticed 146 GGNTZ subbing for an Avro 100 on a Birmingham to Frankfurt flight yesterday.
Also, not that long ago, 146 DAMGL was being leased in on a regular basis to operate flights out of BHX & MAN

No more problems than usual with the RJ's. Sometimes you have to substitute for a line casualty and you grab whats available.
We did have a problem, along with many others, regarding rehydrated de-icing fluid from somewhere in Europe. That has now been addressed and with luck shouldn't reccur. Especially as it put 8 RJ's off-line at one point!
However, thinks are back to what passes as normal in the Airline world.

How come that we at BA have had what seems to be a number of nigling faults with RJ/146, when the likes of 'Flightline' have operated them (usually second hand ones) for at least 10 years with seemingly few problems, and some success.

DH8 GBRYI delayed handback until Saturday afternoon 23rd April at 1400z due to long term unserviceability of GBRYU/GBRYV
142 GMIMA departs IOM for STN on Tuesday 3rd @ 1000z
141 GMABR departs MAN for IOM on Monday 2nd @ 1800z to replace GMIMA
ATP GMANL departs GLA for SEN on Sunday 01st @ 1300z
RJ100's due to leave MAN in November?
Other operators have had stiff control problems on their RJ100/146 fleet due to de-icing fluid. Eurowings/Swiss and Flybe all in varying degrees. Seems to be a problem due to slow climbout speeds and the anhedral wing. The slush isn't dispersing quickly enough and sliding down towards the ailerons (seems specific to this a/c type and shape)

I presume they are keeping GOINV for a bit longer then, noted this aircraft in Birmingham over the weekend rather than on it's more usual EGKK-EGPE stomping ground
