They then ordered a ton of E175s but have only taken delivery of a handful and have now decided that it doesn't fit their business model to have more than one type. This will be the first time in their history that they've been a one type airline.

Well, thanks. During my tenure as an instructor at OAA, I had several students that ended up there and was told that they were an all Q airline.

Regardless, my point is that FlyBe is well versed and experienced in operating the Q.

Wait till the MX bill comes.....

The Q was a mx queen at Cjc but when mesaba mx took over it did get a bit better towards the end, only for us to shut down. Horizon mx is probably a letter better with the q's than Republic mx, not to say that republic has bad mx. It's just a hanger queen that needs regular work. Flybe probably has it down better as they have had them.

Some of these planes may go to DEN but no one hired after 2011 will get them for FO and 2005/6 for CA unless the Lynx guys get lucky again somehow. Also, if a "west" base gets these planes it'll be well into the process.

This should not be construed as 50 planes of growth. It is not a significant net change by the time the Qs, 190s, and CHQ fleet reductions are accounted for.
