QX currently has 18 Q400s in the fleet, 2 purchased from a Chinese airine (Hainan Airlines Co. Ltd.: each comes with a free order of General Tso's Chicken and fortune cookies) arriving on-line by mid-2006, 12 additional orders arriving in late 2006 through mid-2007, and 20 additional options.

No additional CRJ's on order, so I guess we definitely are not moving in the all-jet direction. Hope it's a good move. The Q400's are supplying plenty of MX headaches and reliability problems. We are even experimenting with 76 and 78 seat configurations.

Air group says that Q400's have very little customer resistance and are overall a better product than the RJ on stage lengths less than 800-900 miles. I suppose we shall see.
