But if they are continuing to use them for transborder ops, what difference does it make?

Flights in and around NL are very expensive compared to transborder, so I would think that profits would be a lot greater than losses on fuel. Probably more economical for them to use the DH4 for some transborder ops and return the CRJs to these routes.
