That is the problem flybe are not using the 400 on niche routes where performance limitations restrict the use of jet airctaft. They are using the things on 2+ hour sectors from one major airport to another where jets could easily operate providing the PAX with higher altitude (as long as it is not a 146), higher speed (as long as it is not a 146) and less noisy (as long as it is not a 146) environment. Meanwhile the PAX is paying the same fare as with the low costs (easy/Ryanair).

Good deal not.

Go on then RD deny that you 146 dinosaur.
