Jorge, that rumor, as far as PQI may be true. Hearing rumors here at AirTran that we may be soon delving into the great, almost Canada, Northeast!

Been there with CJC for 7 mos., an overnight here or there woudn't hurt. ESP. if they have the same good folks working up there!

Umm, the -200 is a -100 (sans stupid nose taxi light) with engines from the -300...

What do you know you are a dispatcher we don't even let you near the airplanes. I am just repeating what I heard. Airtran into PQI lol. Yeah like we need that many seats.

He is correct, a Dash 8/200 is basically the 100 with the 300 engines. And they don't have to start production on them, they have been around since the early 90's.

Amazing what that extra 150hp on both side does for the same Airframe.


Looks like your dispatcher knows more then you about the Dash.

Four years at QX will teach you alot about the "dash"...
