Indeed we opperate the F27 daily into LCY. And yes its a F27-mk50 or in other words Fokker 50. and it just looks like a friendship. As for the jet ops why do you guy's think the 328 jet has not been to LCY yet? according to my sources it's the speed thing, they just can't loos it. as for a 146 they go "much" faster on level flight but nothing beats a turboprop on app. 220 till 8 miles and flight idle makes for a smooth approach that seems to please even the pax. Why then do they allways put us behind those oversized gupy's. where we end up minimum app speed on 20 miles????? Planning is everything controlers (especialy thems)
I gues they can't make good for the descend profile well enough on most jets and where are we going to put them ( dash8 need two stands to park in one other wise they risk loosing theyre nose gear!!!!) Fokker is dead long live Fokker.
