I wonder if the 146 has the wing strength to hold up in the long run?
Low altitude pull ups isn’t what it was designed for.
I have the idea that most airliners today are “underbuilt” for weight and fuel savings…at least compared to old military types.

Also, four engines to feed isn’t goint to be cheap…and are there enough of the engines and other out there at reasonable prices?
