Secondly why would they put a Q400 on an EAS route that normally sees maybe 40-50% load factors on a SAAB?
The saabs only had a 2-3% profit margin BEFORE the recent gas prices at 100$ a barrel. Well below industry average. Most regionals get a about a 5% profit margin. The Q's a 5-7% profit margin depending on completion, ontime etc.....
I can see some Saabs going bye bye, a while before all of them go...
