RE: Horizon (QX) Expansion?'s
Errrrm, we've been flying the Q200 or similar 100 series aircraft since 1985. The 300 however...no need for it now, the Q400 is just as economical as the Q200 so why not fly it half full on an old Q200 route. That being said, reducing frequency would not empty the aircraft. We can reduce frequency b...

Many have suspected the shorter runway, sounds logical enough in early speculation, CRJ 100 and 200 have no leading edge slats thus making the wing very critical.

To answer the above questions about the hook, many tactical military aircrat have an arresting hook of some sort. Not as strong as those that trap aboard a carrier, some a simply strong bungy type devices. But most planes have them.
