Go North,
I'm not knocking anyone, just commenting on your previous post.
NJS threatened? NJS don't even fly to BME. IF they did, XR would be in serious trouble, I'd suspect.
As for size, I consider the size of the cabin to be the most important, not what it looks like on the outside. Check out the cabin dimensions of the 146 and the F100 and get back to me if you like.
As for the speed, it's the fares that count, not 20 minutes over 3 hours. And IF the fares were the same, how many pax would even bother to ask "how fast does this thing go?".
As for the gear, the only impression that a pax takes with them after the flight is the service, the PAs and the landing. That is why I made the comment about the landing gear.
