In case there is any doubt. Giving away the 195 is giving away the737.
Letting the 170/175/190/195 fleet slip away will mean more than just screwing the MDA people now.
"I don't like it either, but that's the way it has to be" just does not cut it. :down:

FlyBe follows Embraer order with new Bombardier deal
British low-cost airline FlyBe has converted four options for Bombardier's Q400 turboprop airliner into firm orders, confirming the deal at Le Bourget yesterday (Tuesday). .............
Major
The 400 order was FlyBe's second major deal in as many days.
The airline yesterday announced options and orders for 26 Embraer 195 regional jets worth $870m. These aircraft will replace FlyBe's BAE Systems 146s and Boeing 737s; the airline plans to operate just two types - the Embraer 195 and the Bombardier Q400.
FlyBe's network now has 99 routes, covers 40 airports and is the largest airline flying from the UK cities of Birmingham, Southampton and Exeter - the latter west country location being the airline's HQ.
