When in reality it is Manchester/Dublin/Cork runs to Edinburgh/Exeter/Bristol .. ILS to ILS.
I have flown it and a jet, and the latter is far more challenging. There are solid reasons why you can walk from the LHS of a 737 into the LHS of an ATR, but the opposite is near impossible.
Yeah maybe you'll do an ILS but not after 4 or 5 hours of tedium and banal chit chat and just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it. There are a lot more TPs doing visuals than there are jet gods in their challenging machines at most of the airports i frequent.
I wouldn't be so arrogant to tell someone how they "will" fly in to an airport by the way especially if you find flying your one jet challenging.
