apache,
There is a big difference in the running cost per hour between the Metro and the E120 especially on the route that Sunshine will operate the Metro on. However if this company was looking forward rather than backwards the E120 would be the way to go. Passengers hate Metro's, the Bandeirante has more passenger appeal. The Metro has one thing going for it, it's cheap and the best wat to describe the Metro is "cheap and nasty".
rpt2,
What recent acquisition of two sheds?
Turbine,
From what I hear their Bandit fleet will be reduced to 1. This aircraft will be held as a spare. I have also been told that most of the Bandit pilots have been told their services are no longer required.
