Air New Zealand paid around $10 million each for its 1900D aircraft. You would expect a lot of aeroplane for that amount of cash. The Metro is old now and many are approaching the 35000 hour life limit on the tail. I think aeroplanes are like computers, cost a heap to upgrade, but essentially do the same job.

The Messiah,
You are so wrong, so far everyone who has replied to this topic has put forward a good arguement, you have posted crap. All you have said is you don't like my opinion.
I think the current aircraft I fly is crap, it has no performance, spares are expensive, it doesn't have much passenger appeal, but it is cheap to buy plus it has a Flight Attendant.
You are correct I don't sign the cheques, but I have do have first hand experience with both the Metro and the 1900D. I have not once said the Metro is no good, I have only said the 1900D is a better aircraft and from a passenger, pilot and engineers point of view it is.
