I don't believe QX can operate greater than 76 seat jets as long as they are part of AAG. If they do they are required to merge with AS per the contract. This is what I was told by someone in the union. Check out section 1.C.3 then lookup the definition of "small aircraft"in section 2.
This doesn't stop a company not part of AAG flying them. Just Horizon, unless they are sold.

Give Horizon recruits a big new hire bonus and guarantee that they won't have to fly some dumpy turboprop, and there will be a line of people tripping over their balls to come there.
