at least this useless post by some idiot has turned into something slightly more uselfull….

cosy.

Turboprop down to Milan – Im surprised people dont refuse to fly on it!

In PPRUNE, a flybe member of cabin crew mentioned how many passengers see the props on the Q400 when it flys longer distances and wont fly.
Im sure that was before the Milan flights.

Maybe the Q400 has proved itself popular with the passengers.

Trouble is with an all Q400 fleet some of the lesser capacity routes will have to be cut and Exeter would probably be in that category.

But why, because like I said in my post earlier, they are more effeciant than the other dashes – quote from Airliner World March 2003 “It has the lowest seat cost in the market. Four rotations cost the same as the Q200 but there are 68% more seats.”

The Q300 probably costs more to run than the Q200 so even if the route is of a low desnsity, it will still be cheaper to run and they said a few months ago that they were considering changing the Jersey-Guernsey-Exeter-Dublin route to a Q400 for the summer anyway because it is getting popular.

The Exeter – Channel islands route still caries a bad reputation for many people around here because of the shorts which many people still think are used.
