Well im based at egns for FlyBe as a SLF agent...and from what i have heard from my boss the Q400 costs the same to run as the small 30 seater dash?!?! (think its somewhere around 30
)...i personally cant work out how a huge over stretched dash can cost the same but you never know?!
They are nice planes inside and comes with a very posh glass cokpit! (quite stuffed if they is a short circuit!)
The only bad design about the Q400 is the back hold door...one wrong move and then it comes off and takes 4 hours to put abck in!!!
