Look at the ensuing feud I created with 2 words ... "Who wouldn't" ...?



I have flown both ... and agree with the characteristic differences stated by most posters.

But without spending hours on the web looking over charts and graphs, I'll say this much ... most maintenance reliability types prefer the RR for its reliability ... I also think it is why UPS switched to the RR in the middle of its fleet, but anyone on here with more time at UPS would know for sure.

Everything that we can point out as differences as pilots is just that ... differences. Airlines worry about cost to operate and maintain and reliability ... in no particular order !
