The jet schedules are better. One thing that blows my mind is that most (don't jump on me) of the trips in the jet you get paid with the 4:1 TAFB. The Q400 thing I haven't heard of but there are a few cheap ones over the pond right now. Farming out the 90-110 seats, I guess you get what they pay for.
I personally like being at QX, yes a long upgrade, turbo props but I like the west coast and the destinations. If you want to upgrade and go somewhere else there is always, SkyWest.
