And what if we were considering new high speed turboprops - the Tu-95 showed what was possible in the 1950s, with an environmental 'push' an advanced turboprop could surely operate at height, in comfort, and at speeds that would make fairly long sectors practicable, and all at lower seat/mile and environmental costs than the jets?
