That plane was cancelled in October and is now being test flown but is still registered to Lynx... in other words nobody has spoken for it. The deposit was already put down a year earlier by F9 and became a gift to Bombardier. There are used Q's on the market that have been for sale for a year (Jeju). He doesn't like or want props so thats it.
Obviously the more planes you have the easier it is to show a profit. But there is a lot of variables to consider to come up with the magic # of airframes. Fee for departure contracts would probably need a bigger #.
