Good point,
It’s a gamble being the first operator of a type, so I guess on the amount of problems that occur. I bet SAS lost out on the Dash8-Q400 deal. I heard that SAS grounded the entire fleet of Q400 and told the manufacture to sort them out or have them back.
I wounder how much discount Virgin was offered for the A340-600. I don’t believe it had to many problems.
