Read the original quote again. It seems clear to me that Scott Grier's comment about "the most successful turboprop" refers to the Saab 340 (yes, poetic licence, I know) rather than being some sort of hint about what type they'll choose. He appears more concerned about squashing ignorant journalistic speculation about "old", "unreliable" aircraft following (gasp!)
two tech aircraft.
I assume the SF340 replacement decision whenever it comes will be economics-driven rather than favourite-plane-driven...
