At the end of the day, the passenger ONLY cares about price. But the branded product has created somewhat of a loyal customer base, as limited as it may be. If the those people now have to ride on a turboprop with no XM radio, and SKW decides NOT to give the $1 beers and the same food or level of service, that limited customer base could drop off.

And NO, I personally have nothing against turbo props. But a healthy portion of the traveling public does. Makes perfect sense to put a more efficient aircraft on a low yield route. Besides, do you expect them to put the Aquafresh paint job on a 120? That would be some crap to see.
