Funny how the people who say "believe it when I see it" are usually the first to send their CVs in...
And funny how those who bag the 146 usually don't know what they are talking about. A relatively modern jet, that can take palletised cargo or cargons, vs a bunch of decrepit old turboprops... even the 146 is more fuel-efficient than F27s and Convairs. The 146 also has the distinct advantage of being able to operate into noise-sensitive airports. And it can operate effectively out of 1200m runways.
Maybe it's about time for a bit of a shakeup in the NZ freight scene...
