FACT.

Great idea IMO, doesnt seem right for B737 and A320 to be doing 20-30 minute "hops". Guzzling fuel. As the man said its the shorter routes he targets! B737 has bigger range so let it off..nobody will stand going to tenerife anyway!!Plausible idea..I would say more like over due. Could well see these coming in and out of London and big densely populated capitals.

Passengers dont know if the plane is goin Mach 0.84 or .7!Is at 10,000 feet or 40,000feet and dont know difference between props and jets. Time of landing is all that relevant to them.
