I think passengers will get over hating props once they ride on the new Q-400. I haven't myself but i have heard they are a lot quieter than say a dash 8 or atr. and you would think delta would get over not wanting props in order to save big $$$ on fuel burn. I'm in the pool still and I'd fly the shi! out of the Q-400. Granted that wouldnt be for a while but hopefully if they got some in the near future it might save some jobs at least, which would also help me out in the long run :-P
