Will the SAABs be retired for E190s and/or Dash8's ?

Two very different markets served by two AOCs, I don’t think you will see any cross pollination of aircraft.

Yeah I agree. For one thing, I've not seen any indication that the Cobham operation will be rebranded as Rex - not ruling it out, but certainly wasn't mentioned in the press release, in fact I read it the opposite way with the repeated references to NJE will this and NJE will that.

At most, there might, might one day in the future be E190s used for some RPT services out of PER to points in WA and the likes of ADL, ASP, DRW.

Exactly, with the market bigger than a SAAB and not big enough for a B738.

I've also read that they picked up NJE freight ops as well which would include the B146's.
