Embraer Brasilia or Saab 340B
 

If you have to choose, which one would you go for (as a flight crew) and why?

Learn the rules! :ugh:

what do you mean?

The only "rules" i can think of in terms of flying Brasilias or Saabs, would be the Instrument Flight Rules....:confused:

Tintin, go away and find out what sort of aircraft Virgin Blue actually fly.

Tintin

You don't know what the fcuk you're talking about ! :rolleyes:

SF340 = REX -- RPT
EMB120 = PELAIR -- Night freight

Should'nt you be studying for that BAK exam coming up...:E

hehe, Virgin flying EMB 120's!!! Now theres a new one!

Wrong Embraer buddy!

Ausboy,

May be a little biased, but i would choose the E120. Nice entry turbo prop, with quite a few E120's around Oz in Service today. Airnorth, Network, Regional Pacific, Pelair.

Would give an insight into the evolution of the systems on Embraer's E170/190, not to mention E145 and variants. Most importantly gettting used to the Embraer Yoke!

But above all, quite an enjoyable aircraft to fly.

Have never driven a Saab 340, so unable to make a comparison other than own personal bias, perhaps a ford holden type of thing :p

Would give my vote for the E120

Not sure its a fair comparison - 340 really shouldn't be put up against a E120

I think the question is would you rather diarrhoea or constipation!!!!

I would support the vote for the E120 - faster than the Saab, can cruise a lot higher and carry a reasonable payload. Also has an APU to keep the punters warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Remember some of the Kendall A models struggling across Bass Strait due to ISA + temperatures.

Both flight decks way to small!, E120 if pushed.......

IMHO.......... Turbine Command

1. Command on > 5700kg
2. Command multi crew a/c
3. Still 'Glass cockpit'
4. Shorter bond
5. Better pay

Just because you have jet time doesn't mean you have a leg up in VB, JQ or QF.

None of the operaters you listed operate F100 or B717s so you still need type endorsements anyway.

If you are actually considering sticking with an operater (and I am assuming your not by your post) then F100 (Alliance or Skywest both good operations) or B717 (NJS, we'll wait and see what happens with that one) would be my choice.
