I like QX, but if you think OO is the only other west coast option you're wrong. In fact OO is only a west coast option if you're very senior.

'Fleet Optimization Plan Update:
As of April 2018:
We will receive an additional 3 E 175 delivers in 2018. We were scheduled to receive 13 E's and we will now receive 16 E's in 2018. However, there is still no projected fleet growth as Q's will be retired in concert with E 175 deliverers. As soon as network planning has visibility for the fall we will be informed and will know where the additional E 175's will be placed to take over Q flying.
Our fleet plan remains at 60 total aircraft."
Welp

...and only 4 more in 2019, making the E175 count 30. That will mean that we'll be half E175 and half Q400 by the end of 2019. I like that they are going to pick up a few extra E175s, but if they ditch the Q400s, all that means is that the E175s will be flying the short routes where the Q400s are so efficient. This should be interesting.

If you assume 25-30 Q's stay in the fleet, that's probably enough airplanes to justify keeping the current bases open (especially if they just replace Q's with 175's in SEA and PDX), but that's ultimately up to the "geniuses" that AAG puts in charge here.
