Its in regards to the Q400. They are running into problems because the contract mins for upgrade are 2500/1000 but after 3407 the FAA and Colgan agreed to change it to 3250/1000 (unless you had time in type than they are 2750/1000). So Colgan and the insurance carrier aren't letting people upgrade unless they have the higher minimums.
