Bombardier Q400 -- to solve shortage?

This: "Moreover, US passengers are notoriously skeptical of turboprop aircraft, which could leave airlines hesitant to invest in the product." I don't think an airline running the Q400 has a prayer against an airline running E-175's, even if that means they can't take off out of Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky.
Just imho.

Cost of operation with lower fuel and mx cost you can pay labor higher while keeping similar margins. Makes sense.

I believe that what the Q400 can save are the routes that pilot shortage/economics are about to take away. By making it economic to fly routes at risk, there is one solution, but pilot shortage is another issue.

Recruiter: "Would you like to fly a Q400?"
Pilot candidate: "Do you have any jets?"
Recruiter "Well yes, but we're recruiting for the Q400"
Pilot candidate: "Bye".
SJS my friend. SJS. I'm sure recruiting for Piedmont is awesome...
