I have a friend who flies the FK100 for American and he really loves the airplane. Yeah, he admits that it is a very SLOW jet, but he doesn't mind being paid by the hour... I know that a number of airlines flew the Fokker at one time or another including Midway, USAirways, Mesa (Fokker 70) and of course American is gradually phasing it out.
Just thought it would be nice to hear about the good, bad and the ugly related to the fine aircraft. I remember taking a good look at the flight deck one afternoon and I was very impressed - nice and clean EFIS environment.
So, what are your FK100/70 memories out there? If you are currently flying it for American, will you miss it or would you rather move on to something else? If you are flying something else now, how does your current airplane compare to the venerable Fokker?
Thanks
