Stating that the Saabs are old Mesaba planes is no revelation. Since Saab doesnt make planes anymore they are somebodies old planes...
They know the 1900's are crap thats why they're going away. But as they do you'll cry about the downsizing.
Standing alone in FL was brilliant. They'll have a foundation of flying that doesn't rely on another carrier or EAS. Plus more opportunity to fly with other carriers...
Your gonna fly a regional jet in south FL where the average flight is less than an hour / below the flight levels and spend how much in gas so you can have an APU?
Piedmont Dash 8's have APU's and they're old as dirt. Actually I think flightmedic01 probably flew one of the old Dash 8's that are in operation for Piedmont right now. Turboprops do have amenities such as APU's.. Keep on smoking the rocks!
