My guess is that RAH is presently shopping around the Q400s to other airlines for future flying. I can see them flying for US Airways out of PHL or DCA someday. It may sound far fetched, but in this biz, nobody knows.

Unable USairways... the number of large regional jets (including your Q400 based on seats) would just add to the number that are already in violation of their contract.... I would only assume the CAL would make more sense and screw the XJET guys even farther... However maybe you all would get a pay rate that would be better then those of Colgan and help raise the bar there...

If I had to take a guess, it's that the Qs are going away. We were getting A/C #12 in Jan '10 and had a couple of options remaining and all that was cancelled a few weeks ago. BB said he would either grow the fleet or get rid of it. They say they are doing a fleet analysis right now and thats why they cancelled all the remaining Qs, but it kinda looks like the writing may be on the wall for the Q. I'm guessing the Qs get phased out, we get a semi-crappy integration or it goes to arbitration and when all is said and done we can bid whatever A/C and base our new seniority can hold. I'm hoping this won't happen as it's not what myself and pretty much everyone else here signed on for. My .02.
