Ghengis ... have I missed something?
BACon operate BAe146/RJ, Dash 8 and Emb145
Flybe BAe146, Dash 8 and Emb195
How on earth are Flybe aircraft any more uncomfortable to the BACon aircraft? Emb145 you have to be 5 foot to be able to stand in the 'off-centre' aisle, the 146 is the same as ours, and the dash 8 is the same as ours! Flybe seat pitch is more generous than both Easy and Ryanair, and if you haven't seen the inside of the 195, you really should next time its on the ground where you are - its an amazingly comfortable and well thought out cabin for passengers.
So wind your neck in and stop spouting the brown stuff that comes out the wrong end of a bull! All this propellers are for boats nonsense - do you guys not read Flight mag etc? Not seen P&W and RR plans for 'exposed fan' engines? Will that make those aircraft third class? I don't think so. Every dash pilot in the world apologises to you for flying a highly fuel-efficient aircraft, we are sorry and not worthy! And we apologise that we do not have the seniority or desire to move onto a SUPER jet like the 145 or 146.
BTW have you heard that dash co-pilots are only second officers not first officers?
