Do easyjet have a reason behind why the 145 is considered ok for DEP but the Q400 is not? What at the end of the day is the difference apart from 12 visible blades on one? Q400 is heavier, has all the modern toys of a regional jet, outstanding performance, EFIS, more seats than the 145. Any reason why easyjet won't consider turboprop for DEP, even if they ask for more hours on it that they do a small regional jet? Or is the jet v turboprop rule going to live on forever? Chances are someone doing the 'bus type rating having come off the Q400 will cope considerably better than a guy coming off a 146-100!
If easyjet want good quality candidates to choose from why not broaden its net?
