Yep,
Elliot Moose is right - the JungleJet is like the Metroliner! Its narrow cross-section means that headroom is limited as well - when I recently flew on one it was
almost a hands-and-knees job!
Perception, especially on the part of the great travelling public, is somewhat curious. As we all know, on the shorter hops of 250 - 350nm or so the advantages of a jet are minimal and they cost a great deal more to operate (up to 50% more in some cases - comparing say the F50 or ATR72 with the CRJ or the EMB145) ... and on top of that are a lot less comfortable!
Strange, really!
