Default Re: Some Colgan news

Not really a rumor. Some truth to it.

Yes they are working on that. Nothing is firm but it makes sense. Bombardier would reopen the Dash-200 production line with a large order and fit the Dash8-200 with the -300 engines to give it more power.

The Dash 8-200/-400 are basically the same type, so crews would be interchangeable with only minor differences training. Also Colgan/Pinnnacle would get better deals on parts and service from manufacturer.
