as nice as it is to hear those Spey engines on the F28 itīs time that they went for an extended holiday in some american desert! The Tays on the F70 chew about 1700kg of fuel with 80 pax. The Speys will probably gobble up quite a bit more, I suspect. Time to move to more modern equipment. Q400 is a start and should be a success if operated on the right routes. Am watching the GRJ route with interest. It is about equal to the maximum distance that we operate the Q400 over here. At the end of the day most people book their flight based on the price. If the price is right SAX will be filling up the flight to GRJ. Most people wonīt have a clue what aircraft they are flying until they bang their heads on one of those six blade props!
