so YES I definitely agree with you that prop v. jet hardly matters if you have a connection.. but the q was ALL ELSE being equal.
nitpicky arent we???
Um....whatever.

In case you missed it, for the most part, there is no "all else being equal" in this business. Well, maybe SW/UPS might be a SLIGHT exception. But if you were to ask recent UPS/SW new hires of class breakdowns, one that didn't have the heavy/trans oceanic requirement in place (UPS), there was probably turbo prop only representation.

If I was "nitpicky", I would be busting your balls over poor grammar/sentence structure.
