You must really hate prop guys.
RPMs are based on straight line distance between airports. BOS-DCA is 346miles. LGA-ALB is 118miles.
There would be an RPM formula for each aircraft. Props fly shorter distances but are much more efficient than jets. RJs fly mid stage length, so not as many cycles as a prop, but more than a 777.
