Not sure what success that the REX / Airlink combination would have with operating into smaller regional centres. Apparently Airlink aircraft arent STOL capable. They are flat out stopping on a 1700 metre runway let alone anything smaller. Who wants Airlink flying anywhere else anyway. Havent we all had enough of needlessly burning up engine hours and fuel waiting for them. I always feel embarresed for Airlink pilots, being forced into such a ridiculous routine.
