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.

Well it is National Jet Express trading as Cobham.... so it may as well be NJE trading as REX.

The deal is for all the E190's, Q400's, and 146F's for 40 Million.

The deal does not include the 146’s, just the fifo assets

National Jet Express is reducing their Bae146 fleet by:

VH-NJQ being scrapped
VH-NJY withdrawn & up for sale
VH-NJP withdrawn & up for sale

These predate the above announcement

The deal includes FIFO and Cargo ops. This ops as National Jet Express AOC. The deal does not include the Dash 8 Customs operations.
