Long term, Jazz may need to invest in some ATR-42's for the smaller markets. For former Beech 1900 markets, it'll either be a milk run, or have to be a subsidised ATR.

Only time will tell.
I don't think so. Air Canada spend good money refurbishing Dash-8-300s, they are good for another 15 years. They have perfectly good 50 seaters available for these markets but are choosing to remove them from the fleet even after sunk costs of extending their life.
