Are BACX still intent in becoming an all jet fleet? - the reason I'm asking is there is a turboprop out there which would seem to be ideal for their sector length and capacity needs - none other than the Q400! - the very same seems to have been instrumental in Flybe's remarkable turnaround with operation costs said to be no higher than lesserDash's.

There is also the bonus of near jet performance with significantly lower fuel costs.

One wonders if the bean counters have ever considered this option?
