Why does load block dash 8 flights for Weight and balance?

Re: Clarity on Bases

Heard a rumour that YHZ DH8 flying is being taken over by the E2? Any word on the effects this may have on the base?

It’s a bit strange that in the last year or so the COO stepped down, the DFO was let go and now the CFO is moving on…
