Engine out,
Sorry would have to disagree. The jet will win in the end due to speed. Also theres the so called Modern day travellers phobia of "Jets Only". This may not be prevelant in Oz much, but sure is in the USA, hence the rate of knots at which they are being retired and replaced with Jets.
DHC-8 will be cheaper until its gets Older then well...........
I have no idea on say the Range or CRJ to Dash 8-300/400.?
Prolly is better I suppose allthough the Bombardier site has range for Q400 but nothing for CRJ?
Also propellors lose efficencieny at altitude way before Jets. Plus also Props are very noisey
. Just ask my Doctor, Im off to buy another NR Headset soon the LightSpeed G3 heard they are good.
Also there are fewer anf fewer Props on the market in that seating capacity, Dash, ATR and SAAB a re it I belive ooh and the Dornier but I think thats even a Jet now right.
