Vyse was more accurate, regarding the 145.

I think the company still have close to 100 options with American and United, so who knows.
Give us a call at (435)...*Surferlucas....know anyone looking for a good deal on Q400s?
If they do go to Ravn don't tell spout it publicly, otherwise everyone and their uncle will apply because of the 'fast upgrade.' *Ravn was looking at one time but I don't know if they are anymore.
Flybe is picking up 24 of themI wonder is Ravn or Peidmont will pick any up?
It's not up to regional management. It's up to the major they have a contract with what airplanes they fly.As an outsider, here is something I don't understand. Aren't the Q400s cheaper to operate? As management of a regional, if you are barely making money and can't afford to pay your pilots a livable wage, why don't you keep the cheaper to operate plane?

RAH had not operated Q400s before, so they had to invest in startup and learning costs. They are cheaper to fly, but the maintenance costs ate up all the savings. They would have needed to operate about 60 Qs for it have to have been worthwhile.
Also, they were only able to fulfill the contract by using a lot of spares, so that further eroded the margins.
Sure they had. They bought Lynx when they got Frontier, so they had the Q400 prior to the United birds.
