146's are great from a pax point of view...they're quiet, fly nice, and land very smoothly thanks to a trailing main gear. As opposed to a '37 which is LOUD, and lands like a free-falling brick. From an operational point of view...well lets just say , one might consider having a spare 146 kicking around just in case. Dispatch reliability is good, but there is no such thing as a quick fix on a 146 when something goes wrong. ( seems like even the cabin lighting is over-engineered. Personal opinion, of course :-) )
