Air Georgian 1.0 was a disaster also. They did well with the 1900's but once they went RJ it was all down hill. They took all their good 1900 AME's for the RJ and the 1900's went down hill fast.

Sad times out east.
The 1900D's got old (+20 years & lots of cycles) just like the CRJ 100's (25 years) and some -200's.

There is no 19 seat replacement (new Cessna isn't pressurized) and isn't particularly profitable unless you have a CPA with a larger carrier.

I worked on both. They let their 1900’s slip. A few accidents out west, inability to do maintenance killed them. I did heavy checks on the 1900’s and what I saw would scare the shit out of ya.
