LBA is not entirely EMB, we have 1 Fokker 100 during this winter and the summer will be 3 Fokker 100s as well as 1x ERj135 and 145.

We had an internal communication about Fokker’s at LBA recently. I think you’ll find the one that runs through LBA at the moment is LHR based, and does the LBA/LHR shuttles only. As far as I’m aware, no LBA cabin crew are trained on the F100, only the EMB’s.

As for more coming through the summer, the aircraft concerned are being leased temporarily to bmi regional so that they can return 2 wet-leased ERJ135/145’s on loan from other airlines. I think they’ve only been able to release the F100’s from LHR as and when the A319’s arrive.

Its a strange way of doing things I know, but I guess thats what happens when you have several different operations in the same group!
