I don't think you are right HH. A modern turboprop with 70 seats or more seats, good runway performance and plenty of poke is exactly what the airlines will buy. Jets are good but nothing can really match the kg/seat/nm fuel burn of a turboprop - especially if the sector times are similar. With current (and predicted) fuel costs, there is a large hole in the market.
