(CAL isnt charging any less because its a T-Prop either)
If anyone should be ****ed off, it should be the CAL guys.
At least a lot of the Colgan guys are doing there part and attempting once again to get a Union.
CAL does not include t-prop's in their scope for a reason. THese planes are flying short routes that will never replace a 73. Ever. CAL pilots have more to worry about from 145xr's or guppy killers like the 170's. Q400 is still regional flying. FLying an rj from EWR to JAX is not.
