Sometimes though, just sometimes, the media can get things wrong. I don't know what's going to happen to those planes, but to the extent that Continental got them just as a 70 seat end around the large RJ scope, I could see them going away. While the new United JCBA could park all of the CRJ-700s, I dont think that's going to happen. Best case is the existing 700s will be grandfathered in, which would devalue the Q's purpose. Maybe the Q400s can still fill in on some special mission, but to my knowledge they're just not worth it compared to CRJs.

But again, my knowledge is limited. Anything could happen. My point is just that it is not a foregone conclusion that those planes will stay with UAX, despite what some Canadian article said.
