Producing aircraft that we not meant to compete was the job of Dornier and Douglas.
That new garden spot led to a very nice realization on our transcon a few days ago, time to stock up on Malarone.
The EMB-1200 would be the coolest airliner yet, outside of the 747 and MD-88.
And think about the great confusion among the passengers when they refer to the mainline Delta EMB-1200 as a jet. Because if its at mainline, its "a jet" while anything at the all jet DCI is, I guess, "not a jet."
Come on, long live mainline props!
All joking aside, 400 knot 70+ seat turboprops that CAL mainline pilots consider a 735 replacement, will be soon joined by stretched or clean sheet 90+ seat ATRs and Dash's. I know you believe me ACL, but if someone else doesn't check out this:
