SAAB 340 vs. other regional props

[BenderGonzales]

The Dornier was a Mercedes Benz (literally). The Dash -- perhaps a Cadilac with a missing muffler. The Saab... yeah, Buick is about right.

PacoPollo... whoever told you that the RJ was a "real airplane" has probably never flown a "real airplane".

Nothing is more fun than ATL-MGM in July in the ATR with a boatload of old farts droppin' like flies due to heat stroke!

You gotta be a new hire, jeezzzz!! Who cares, if you pull back the houses get smaller.... push forward they get bigger!! Hmmmm and if you pull back and the house get smaller, and continue to pull back.... well you will soon see the houses getting bigger again at a faster rate.
That about sums up flying! If you grasp that concept all you folks are now pilots......

Get a life, Dash trash. You must a Riddle whiz kid and real joy to fly with.

Ya but at least the ATR could fill up with a full boat of old geezers. How many Saabs or Brakillas could even haul a full boat with bags on a hot day.

well the saab is a good plane. I just wish it had about 400 more hop on each side then it would be great.

the dash' is quieter andmore comfy as a passenger for sure. I hate flyin in the back of the slaab.

The J41 was a great aircraft to fly from the pilots perspective. EFIS screens with FMS and ACARS in the ones we flew at ACA. Would true out at around 300 kts. It was noisy and uncomfortable in the back. No overhead bins, APU, etc. Passengers didn't care for it which was understandable.

Guess what guys, we all fly airplanes. Who cares about if your jet engine has a prop on it or not. "props are for boats" -- cute saying but your under age sarcasim has already been copywritten by some other tool bag. The problem with this industry is not just in the bank, it is with people who bash the type of planes you fly etc... These were the people who probably drove their folks BMW's when their parents where on vacation. Enough said!

a plane is a plane. What truly matters is QOL, benifits and pay.

Unless you are riding in the back.

Don't ask a guy if he's a Dash-8 pilot!!! if he is, he'll let you know. If he isn't, DON't embarass him!

How many seats in the J-41?
