Why do people care what they fly? In the end if they pay me appropriately and I do not have to commute, I'll flying a GD Metroliner for all it's worth. Turboprop, back-mounted jets, wing mounted jets, auto-throttles, who cares. It's just a freaking job. As long as you dont hate your life at it, forget about it when you are with your family and it allows you to have a good QOL, screw the rest. Do office workers ask if they like one cubical better than the other?
Boy are you out of touch. Accelerate/slow to 35 knot T/O performance?
Lose of engine at V1 may result in negative clime performance?
None of you guys are willing to fly that anymore.
