Name is roy!
Cyrano: you certainly have a point! The point behind stating the "currently in prodn" clause was to ensure continued support. Imagine starting off and then facing a situation of an aircraft lying around rustin in a corner for lack of spares etc.
Two queries at this point:
1. is it feasible to have these aircraft operate for upto 13 hours a day.
One plan would have upto 6 aircraft overnighting in 6 separate stations operating on round robin concept via a central hub where the 7th aircraft would be based as standby/maintenance reserve. The 6 aircraft would be operating betwwen 11 and 13 hours a day. Does this look feasible from a maintenance and operational perspective for an aircraft like the E120 or SF340?
2, Can we do a comparitive analysis between the E120 and the SF340B looking into the points mentioned in the first post as well as economics, comfort etc.
