I was talking to some New Hires last night that are now getting bumped to the Q400, and they're all depressed because its not a jet....LOL....I have to laugh, because they have no idea that the Q400 is a far better aircraft than the CRJ200 on every level....I would love it if some day the Q would be based in MSP or ORD, I would be all over it baby!!!
