Well..........the Jet takes just as much time as the Q from EWR-RDU etc...but the Q is a slower aircraft. Also for the guys that never got the chance to fly a Turbo-Prop, you really missed out on a great experience. I prefer the hot wings/swept wing/above the weather flying of a jet but you learn how to fly in all kinds of weather in a Turbo-prop.
Only problem I have with the Q, is really the same problem I have with all Non Mainline airplane.the Pay, especially for its size and the amount of money it makes.......
