How life at BE would be different if BAE hadn't pulled the plug on the RJX? Would the aircraft have provided the added range and performance that was needed and how much did the BE receive in compensation when BAE chopped the project?

I guess that's all in the past, so where are they going now - they've created a niche for themselves with their Q400s operating on a number of routes, but they are now trying to get into the big boys world with 150 seaters and trying it out at BHX - home to more LCCs than most other places. So is it a good strategy to try to do it? Or are they positioning themselves for a buyout?
