Oh boy...where have you been? CAL's scope prohibits JET aircraft with more than 50 seats. Turboprops are not included. CoEx used to fly ATR72s for CAL back in the day.

I don't know if there is a weight limit. If there isn't, I wonder whats stopping ol' Kellner from stuffing 150 seats in a Hercy bird and farming that flying out to Colgan or Commutair?
