Sweet. Q400s in 2025... 90 seat Dashes in 2045... and we'll all be based in Pheonix!

The 900 is already streched to the point of ugliness. I can't even imagine how ugly the 900X would be!

Good lord, what would the pitch limit be on landing 3 degrees, that stupid 800 panel would never shut up!

Im sure Horizon is already drooling over putting a deal together with Bombardier to be their launch customer for 90 seat Dash.

They just need to add up to 16 seats to our payscale.

They need to do a lot more than that....

I heard a rumor a few weeks ago from a couple guys on the line that QX was talking to Bombardier about this 90 seater. I thought it was probably a joke, but who knows. It was supposed to be a 3-2 seat config. They probably couldn't make a 400 much longer. Now we'll just have a 200 on steroids, and a 400 on steroids.

Well, since the Q400 is technically a 78 seat airplane already, you would only have to add three more rows to get it to 90 seats. With a 30" pitch--which I believe is what a 78 seater has in some, if not all rows--you would only have to stretch it by 7.5 feet. It really isn't that much bigger.
