The MIA ATR's and DFW ATR's were MQ before 9/11.

I can't imagine it would be worth transferring the ATRs to MQ considering the expected time left in operations. I'd expect to see the Executive certificate go bye-bye at the same time the ATRs are returned to the lessors.

Unless they confirmed a huge order of brand spankin new ATR-72-600s! Yea baybee!

don't get me wrong, those things look awesome, but they'd still be riddled with electrical issues (i think i reset INV 1 breaker at least once a trip), the pax door is still in the wrong place (i just want to get out without waiting for 64 carry on bags to be retrieved from the overhead bins), eagle would order them without apu's (again), and the 600's are still fat pigs that'll true at 25X knots, etc etc.

Q400 please.

I have nothing against Q400s at all, but I know they cost more than the ATRs. In AMRs mindset they usually go cheap, but I am sure it will be a bidding war between Bombardier and ATR to see who gets the deal.
