I think they are over playing the feeding off regional bit. They won’t be filling half or even a quarter of jet flights with pax coming off the Saab’s. Saab seat capacity is a drop on the ocean compared to a jet operation. We are not talking Q400s here.

They might get some better connecting numbers when they launch the ATR.
