Thanks for your posts Adfly and Jobsagoodun.

Can understand going for the more fuel efficient engine but they only seem to full into that bracket because they are underpowered. The analogy I can see is that its like buying a brand new quiet BMW albeit with a 1 litre engine to replace a largely competent Skoda diesel. Smarts of the old fashioned pure snobbery that jets are better then props! I'm a regular commuter from Sou and although I like getting the 195 over the dash I and most other people don't give a crap as long as we get to our destination. Flybe surely need to keep their niche rather then disown it for the sake of pure snobbery?
