Personally, I'd rather see a slight drop in frequency between city pairs and an upguage to mainline. A single A319/737 can replace 1 50 seater + 1 70 seater and the city pair remains ASM neutral.
I agree with your latter statement but I'm too cynical to believe it will actually happen. I don't believe the q400s are going to leave the Uninental operation.
