Hello DH7 Fan!
Who ever you are - I was propably flying Copilot with you a decade ago.
I did not really fall for the DH7 in the 1000h I flew one. But the DH8-300 are good solid airplanes and the DH8Q400 is a real pilotīs plane.
SAS tried to destroy the reputation of that plane in order to handle their own media problems.
Had they succeded that would have endangered a lot of jobs in Europe, US and Canada. Non wonder people are upset.
Blaming others is no way to handle a crisis.
