But that's just me...I have been a Dash guy ever since I can remember...

Cheaper to maintain?? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!! Do you know how to identify a Q400 photo that has been photoshopped? It's airborne.

I thought the original contract (almost 2 years ago) included 50 seat aircraft? we've just been stalling until we can figure out how we're going to do it!!

I was just yankin' your chain - he along with everyone else are waiting their turn. January upgrades I believe are around the 5300's - that's about 18 months in the right seat. I believe that will drop again in the futrure.

Fokker...do you care to elaborate...I just got home from working all day...and I don't get the humor in your comment...cuz...apperently...nobody laughed at your statement...

The reason why they would be cheaper to maintain...is because they actually still make Q400's, and there are no Saab2000's in production...therefore, Dash parts are WAY easier to come by...hense...cheaper...

Business 101 for the retard...

Muah-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!...
