For what it's worth, when I was at QX the same van driver told me that contractors were hard at work on the hangar door modifying it to admit a E190 tail. Turned out they were repairing storm damage.
Here's a rumor I've heard over here at Compass: AS has quietly put out an RFP for EMB flying and we've submitted a bid. I'm not gloating or flaming, I still have a lot of friends at QX and don't want to see their flying outsourced. Actually, given that they have the best contract remaining among the regionals, it's in none of our interests to see them underbid.
