Based on the list price for the Q400 NextGen aircraft, the firm order contract is valued at approximately $159 million US, and could rise to $332 million US if the five options are exercised.
The transaction announced today increases firm orders for Q400/Q400 NextGen aircraft to 362, with 245 delivered as of April 30, 2009.Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft are in service with, or have been ordered by, 30 operators around the world."

Any thoughts on who ordered these?

Maybe if you're flying for Lynx or Colgan, but I wouldn't say that about Horizon's payscale...

Word is they won't be flown for peanuts, but in fact, pistachios.

Well, that's actually a really good point! Are they for pistachios?

Because we might actually get bought by SWA, then we might wind up flying them for peanuts! Or at least our FAs would be serving peanuts anyway.
