So what are you basing your opnion on? The "looks" of the airplane? It "looks" mainline?
Mesaba had 36 Avro jets, those all retired, and now they are getting 36 CRJ900s.
Good for them I say, and hopefully all 225~ furloughed Mesaba pilots get called back.
It seems that the AVRO was almost a turbo prop with fans. They used it in aspen, and certain other airport that other jets couldn't get into. Also, it came along before management got the idea to use RJ's as a way of by-passing mainline wages.
