Hey buddy. I initially thought they were inefficient too. However, we do get there a lot quicker, meaning we only burn fuel for 2 hours instead of 2.5 hours or 3 hours. Also look at my post above, some of the props burn the same as us when we are at FL370 and they are lower and slower. In that sense they would burn fuel longer, more total, and take longer to get there.

Ream did say that most of our markets on Branded would burn more per person on a 70-seater since those markets can only sustain 50-seaters right now.
