The Q400 is such a comfortable and efficient airplane I wouldn't be surprised if this is what is holding back the orders right now.
How would everyone at the DCI's feel about a 1 for 1 swap, Q400 for their large RJs?
I say bring it on and fatten up mainline with all the E175's and CR9's that they can stand. Throw some E190's in there as well.
