Hand:
Once again you have struck the nail fully home.
Tiny Tim: I've flown on those things against my will and I can't for the life of me understand how any business user faced with the choice of a BA (full-fare) franchise using them versus a full-fare proper airliner (eg MID) would ever plump for the cigar tube.
PS:
I've also in the recent past made arrangements NOT to position on the 'regional' jet - I'd rather take the train.
