I have flown many different turboprops and jets and could not care less what I fly.
I do prefer my terms and conditions flying the Jet aircraft.
The turboprop undoubtly offers reasonable economics over short sectors, However there is little operational flexibility.
The 146/RJ also suffers from this problem which has undoubtly contributed to its demise.
I have no personal thing against turboprops, what I cannot understand is a decision to go for an oddball aircraft like the Q400 when such unbeatable deals are available on Airbus and Boeing products.
I have an idea why, but I will keep it to myself in case I get struck off
