Hmmm, My Turbo Prop has a APU with nice bleed air!! The cockpit is probably bigger then yours and is nice and quiet in cruise!! And my FO sitting beside me makes more money then the FO taxing by us in a CRJ/900!! Ouch!!

And if your in a 50 Seat RJ, hmmmm... I see all those parked in the desert soon while Turbo Props are still puddle jumping around the country!

C'mon, who are you kidding. PDT has a fantastic contract, surpassing almost any t-prop operator, and many rj operators, but tell me how often you have a functioning APU on those old dashes, especially when you need it the most.

By the way, I think the dash-8 is a sweet airplane with a very roomy and quiet cockpit.

At least if I break my index finger I can still fly my Saab or 1900. UN like you jet guys you break your index finger you can’t fly? Why? Because you can’t program your FMS any more while you are asking ATC what a VOR is and asking your FO to find those jep charts and figure out how to use them. As ATC say Jet Jock you are now cleared for NDB RW16 full approach about this time you are asking ATC what’s a NDB? As ATC is telling you that’s what you listen to the football game on. Ho Wait you guys don’t have one of those looks like you can’t listen to the Foot ball game. But at least the passengers get to watch two monkeys Fing a football for entertainment. While us Turbo prop guys are at the hotel drinking beer, because we just shot that same NDB with one hand tied behind are back while leaping over a tall building and fling faster than a jet. Ho wait we don’t leap over tall building we just pick them up and go under them leaping over tall buildings is for jet guys.

May be some day you can fly my Turbo prop when your jet is parked in the desert. Flying my turbo prop will give you some hair on your chest like a real pilot the TURBO PROP MAN.

I used to haul pretty hot chicas in my C-414...no need a jet for that! And I could talk to them while flying... and if there were a pretty pretty one... she would ride shotgun!

Here's to us turbo-prop people! May we regain the market share and make money for the industry again!

Heres to the Bridge Visual in SJU, more fun than the river visual in DCA, a thing of beauty when done right , your basic constant airspeed descent and turn while doing an appproach and landing, heard of one screwed up so bad they got the gpws trifecta and the tcas. Also only heard of others making the first turn off in EYW, while empty, it's before the touchdown zone.

Throwin the gear and flaps down at 15000' and doing the MLS into SunValley with a 6 degree glideslope.


Overheard from pax. "This is one small airplane"

Captains response "You wouldn't think it was small if it fell on your house"

They work most of the time! Now cooling a cabin when its 95 degree's outside is a different story!
