734 x 21 = 252J / 2772Y
738 x 14 = 168J / 2184Y

With the replacement of the old 400s, to the new 800s there will be less business class for the Q club boys and also a reduction in the potential frequency and capacity between ports. They will also have a huge gap between their little Q400s (74y) to the 738s (156y+12J). Would they fill in the gap to replace the thinner routes like the E190 is to Virgin?

The more important question is, what will happen to the 70odd 734 pilots that is in excess due to the reduction of the aircraft numbers?
