Upgrades? Not for a good looooooooooong while, now. While Mesaba has different benefits and pay (one contract, one voice...right, gotcha) the jet will be higher pay. Higher pay = better selection of booze to choose from.

There will be more upgrades. The airlines are hiring again. We've had several leave from 9L (Colgan) in the last few months alone.
We are also going to be getting another 15 Qs in the next year or so. And another 15 scheduled in 2013. Granted by the time we get any more on property we'll be Mesaba (XJ).
There will be more upgrades. They just might not be coming from Colgan alone once SLI goes through.

Just my .02 :)

I believe those are options and not firm orders as of right now.

Bombardier might beg to differ.

Heard from a Bombardier rep that the options are now firm orders and are being exercised. As to when delivery is, I have no clue, however it is not a question of if, but when. Heard the company is waiting on the SLI and some Colgan-Mesaba transition issues before the announcement is made. With fuel prices aiming for the stratosphere, they would be foolish not to take the Q's in my opinion.
