[quote=cozdabuch;455380]PDT was looking at Horizon's DHC8-200's and that fell through because Airways would not put up even ahalf way reasonable amount of $ for them. They wanted them at less than firesale prices. The Dash8 any model will blow any of the CRJ models out of the water on cost per seat mile. quote]

What is the cost per seat mile for the CRJ 200/700/900 and the Dash series?
It sounds like you know both airplanes quite well. What is the typical burn/hour for the CRJ's and the Dash's.
Only first hour really counts since 99% of our flights are around 1 hour.
Take the burn/6.7=Gallons Used X $4.00 = Cost of fuel/flight Divided by the amound of Pax = Cost of fuel/seat.
So if you can show some examples of CRJ burns and Dash Burns for say an hour of flight that would be a good comparison.
