Wow Q400 with 90 seats

Post by mbav8r »

They steal 20% of the cargo area to add 12 seat, reduce the pitch to 28”, it’s already uncomfortable but you can bet Canadian operators will be looking at this.
I believe Jazz is scoped to 78 seats but I’m not sure right now if this is for jets only.
Edit: looks like MPA(Medium prop aircraft) is defined as not more than 80 seats in ACPA’s contract.

Pretty sure SpiceJet has been doing this for a while.

I'd sooner fit 4 elephants in a mini than cram 90 people into the Q, but I'm sure somebody will do it. Isn't Ryan Air about to cram 206 people into a max 8?

The 90 seat version doesn't have the front closet on the right next to the lav, and I believe the galley has been squeezed in the back. But still, it is pretty ridiculous to be honest.
