I'll give you that the 2K is more comparable to the smaller ATR42 and Q300 with regards to seats. But if SAAB enter the TP market again I would guess they would stretch their 2000 in order to seat closer to 70 like the other bigger models.
I don't think I agree with your other sentiments though. You are entitled to your own opinion, but there are still many big airlines operating SAABs.
