Perhaps I’ve read the room wrong but to me it seems the only consideration is Saab or bigger. Doesn’t seem that if this was to work this situation would still exist. Passengers can want and expect all they like; but if the system doesn’t work then it doesn’t work. Regions NEED a reliable and regular service. They don’t NEED a flight attendant or an aircraft SAAB or bigger. You can put a toilet on a metro.
