AF operated by WDL BAe146
I have several incoming trips CDG-BSL in April/May. Originally scheduled with Hop E170, the flights will now be operated by a WDL BAe146.
Any experience with that company? Will WDL replace the former WX-operated flights?
Slightly OT:
It is on PAR-MLH/BSL that I must have experienced the largest variety of aircraft
ORY-MLH: F100, CRJ, CRK, AT5, AT7...and even A319 (!)
CDG-BSL: AT7, E70, E90...and now BAe146

WDL is not aimed at replacing WX, but it is certainly true that AF may need more WDL from end march following to the end of the WX agreement. WDL will operate more routes in the coming weeks :

I've recently had two AB flights operated by WDL. The aircraft is very old and densely configured (6 abreast!). But the crew was excellent, much above the standards. I would expect the same experience, when they operate on behalf of AF.
