Regional Jets vs. Turbo Props.

[Mercyful Fate]

Nah, which ever gets you the PIC to get you to a legacy or strong LCC. You just shouldn't be planning on staying at a Regional long term. 15,000 legacy retirements in the next decade. You don't want to be at the end of that hiring wave. You want to get in ASAP. Go for the a Regional with the fewest lifers. Be an FO for a year or two, move up to Capt and then move on.

You need banned. Out of complete control.

Maybe you'll listen and get hired by a good airline then! Oh you did? Sure you didn't! Btw, I don't care what you did. Bye now!

Avro RJ85 was the only only plane worth remembering.

True. That's why XJ had so many lifers, they got too comfortable flying the domestic 747.

After having gone through a regional to a LCC, I do agree with this. It is sound advice. Choosing a regional for a hub isn't a safe thing. Hubs - especially at regionals - come and go just as quickly as mainline partner flying. I'd go with the quickest movement for a regional, get in, get your time and get out.

As one of them, I agree. The end will not be fun.

Absolutely agree.

I flew the Q400 for the first time from Baltimore to Newark. It's a very nice plane to fly in vs. a regional jet. I was sitting near the prop and it was unusually quiet compared to the older Dash 8's at US Airways Express.

 

[LanceAir]

How about Dash 8 vs all 3?

You've only flown 1 of the 4 planes listed, your opinion ="little bit o water" :cartman:

 

[no1pilot2000]

I flew the RJ's and props as a passenger. My original thread was concerning those pilots who have flown the aircraft mentioned.
