And last I heard from a Qx manager, we are not retiring any more Q400's until we've received all of our original order of 30ish E175s. When we start picking up our options after that, we'll retire Q400's on a 1:1 ratio.
Btoflyer..You are either very misinformed or you are a part of the Horizon recruiting team. I suspect the latter. You previously stated you had a jumpseater in Pathways that received a class date. A company wide email sent out yesterday stated no pathways participitants have received a class date. Now you are passing mis information about no Qs to retire until fleet of jets is on property. Total nonsense.
