Looks Like Turbo Props are Coming Back!

Looks like the Q400 may be the short haul of the future....
It's certainly going to be the short haul of the future, but it won't operate out of many of the smaller non-hub airports. 74-seats are alot of seat to fill at a small non-hub airport that enplanes fewer than 100 passengers a day. Also, in accordence with TSAR 1542, the airport enacted security requirements are much greater, and costly, when an aircraft seating more than 60 seats enters the market.
