If you want an island hopper, this is the one.....
It's limited to 10,000' but who needs it for 75nm at 240kts. Yes you get some bit cells over the South coast, but no matter how high you cruise, you have to make an approach at some point.
Not as nice as the DO328, but it will be much cheaper to operate, making ticket prices sweeter for the passengers.
The crosswind limit of 30kts is better that the 328 (21 kts) which frustrated passengers and Blue Islands when it was down there. The reason being it lost rudder authority and was really twitchy with its narrow gear. Landing was fine, but any issue on take off and your arse would take a bite out of the seat.

As for the safety record, any aircraft badly maintained and operated by muppets is asking for an accident.
