Turboprop vs RJ

HI everyone,

I was having a chat with a fellow pilot about the limits of turboprop aircraft profitability compared to faster narrowbody jets. There's this common idea that over 300NM an turboprops loose their advantage due to time, PAX comfort...If time is the main factor, does an RJ resolve the problem? Or will it still be profitable to operate the 320 in the same conditions? What are the limits of turboprop aircraft?



I'd like to receive your opinions about the subject.

Cheers and safe flying
