Check out the cockpit of the E2s, which I assume is what they're using
Still, I don't get why people don't think they'd replace mainline jets on routes if they were publicly slated to replace the 717 out west.
You're sure kicking my butt on semantics, and I've never doubted your aircraft recognition awesomeness, but that doesn't really change my point.
Whatever these things are, they're not here, and guys would most definitely fly them for $200/hr.
