Half of their fleet is already Embraer.

Virtually bankrupt airlines have to buy the cheapest planes. LOT has been teetering on the edge of bankruptcy for more than a decade, so it's no surprise that for a long time it's been valuing 'cheap' more highly than 'good'.

One issue is that the low salary levels for pilots compared to other airlines mean that many staff have left and gone to work for other companies.

LOT is in profit now, curtesy of the B787.
