It is not uncommon to have 3-4 MEL's on one of those. In comparison, it is rare to have more than 1 MEL in a PSA airplane, and I have gone several trips with never flying a 700 or a 900 with any MEL's at all.

So, in comparison, the Envoy 700's are junk.

I do care what airplane I fly when it means more work. No one wants to see an airplane with the APU deferred, or the FMS in-op, or the only lav not working.
Spot on. Envoy guys probably assume we are saying this to hate on Envoy, but the truth is the airplanes are just absolute crap compared to the PSA 700's. The NextGen ones don't seem to have issues though.
