Seems the Q400 is going to be a F9 staple, much like horizion air.
Its an option for 10 more, Lynx already has the first 10 they ordered. They wouldn't start arriving until March 09 at the earliest if the options are exercised.
With oil as expensive as it is right now, they will become a staple at many airlines in the US as they already have in Europe.
