As SLF, jumped for joy when Q entered the WA market, I am a twice -fortnightly flyer Per-GET. Couldn't get off the Skywest F50 quick enough. Cut at least 15 minutes off a short sector, new aircraft, comfort levels quite acceptable, and, of course, murdered the old F50 in all aspects .Then put up with 5 months of absolutely appalling on-time performance. Initial thoughts were----new operation, give it some time to bed in. But it went on and on; I can dismiss the "Perth Airport factors" as not their fault, but, when you only have two of type in the state, both flying, and one goes down, you are in the s**t.
So I am back on Skywest, and guess what? I can do the same route, for the same price on an F100, even quicker, and more comfortably. So, curently, all my airmiles are on F100's--apart from the one airframe with rock-hard seats(can never remeber the rego) , comfortable flying with plenty of legroom. Do the Alliance F100's have the same seat pitch as Skywest's ?
