Well with Pinnacle now owing Mesaba and Colgan it was stated that the Colgan name will disappear and Mesaba will be an all TP operator while Pinnacle will be an all jet operator. That folks, brings the Q400 into play. It can be configured to 70 seats and has a max certified takeoff weight of 64,500 lbs. Scope allows it, and the turboprops do NOT count towards the large RJ count. Nice.
