What happened? I think that they are actively shopping the "Q" to UAL, because UAL just put out an RFP for 70-seat turboprops. Likely locales would include DEN, SFO, IAD and possibly ORD. Be interesting to see what develops out of all that. I think that PNCL is working hard to secure as much UAL/IAD flying as possible. This is a wise move, because it's right in their backyard (9L) and I think Mesa and TSA are on the ropes in IAD. Let's make a guess and say 9L "Q" and SA 170s out of IAD as the only players on the UA side.

P.S. For all my CJC pals, I lost my job the other day...Coming back to 9L on the 22nd with a seat in the 22 Sep 08 SAAB F/O new-hire class. Looks like they are hiring 20-30 pilots in the near term, and upgrades should begin again at a rate of 2 per month...
Weren't you a Check airman on the 1900? They can't bring you back as a Saab Captain?
