The E175 is late night SEA-BOI and PDX-BOI.

Saw it on some random summer date.

Some may stay, some are still leaving.

The oldest Q400 couldn't even get a driver's license yet

If they do get rid of them, those would be the first to go I'd think.

The plan was to have a few leave, with most staying. If they keep all of them that would be great as it would mean more new routes and/or frequencies.

Let's hope that FINALLY AS will wash their hands of the Q400s on those long flights (which is more than what their passengers can do).

Hopefully there's another schedule update coming soon, because as it stands all the long Q400 routes are still on the schedule as Q400

PDX-ABQ will be operated by QX E175s starting August 18 http://finance.yahoo.com/news/alaska...130000500.html

So that's PDX-STL, PDX-ABQ and a couple other random flights. Anything else?

A few more popping up in July. SEA-SBA, SEA-SBP, SEA-COS, SEA-FAT. Long Q400 flights look like they'll stay Q400, maybe until 2018 when leased Q400s start going back to lessors

SBP, SBA and COS had already been announced as being taken over (or, in the case of SBP - started) by Horizon operated flights. FAT is a new one, but for each route that Horizon takes over from Skywest, it leaves time for that Skywest airplane to add another route - perhaps one of the longer Q routes. I have no doubt that, in time, the longer routes will transition to E jet flying - 2018 isn't even a year away now.
