They may whinge about the size (it a male thing) and noise (its a female thing)
I've been curious about the differing comments about the pax reaction to the Dash8, so have discussed with a number of colleagues (mainly female) who travel regularly from here in Newcastle to our offices in Exeter - it is one of the few domestic routes we are allowed to fly (so long as it is cheaper than the train, which it normally is unless last minute).

Most have responded as if I'm stupid and just regarded it as a smaller aircraft but otherwise no different to the EZY, BAW, etc they are used to.

Not bothered about propellers, no mention of noise and most comments about carry-on's was how much people brought on! Main comment was around timing and frequency, although most accept they are lucky there is a service at all. The alternative is EZY to BRS then hire car - most would rather chew their own arm off than take the train (6 hours...).
