I wonder if they are going to phase out the Dash 8-400s with the A220 too since they very similar in capacity and size? Interesting times for us regional dwellers! 

The state of the cabin interior as mentioned by others is disappointing. Even the cabin lights are the old yellow things. One would have through QF had provided a minimum spec sheet to alliance for the insides, but alas QLink is treated only as a cash cow for regional Australia. As shame.

Interesting move with the E190 fleet. I wonder if they're planning to replace the aging Q400 fleet and it's actual QLink crew with these contractor services...
