This little Czech gem has been floating around the rumor mill:
EV-55 Outback - New Generation Utility Aircraft, Twin Engine, 9 Passengers

The Van and the Pilatus will never happen. 9K won't go single engine or turbine. The EV-55 has never flown so expect that to take years for approval.
Of the 3 the EV-55 is most likely. The 402 has a few years left and they will be stretched if the EV-55 is the choice frame and the Chech's give us a deal on the price.
Also those turbine's will come off and be replaced with a TCM Jet-A burning diesel engine (which they claim they have engineered and will produce enough power). They don't want turbines because of how many cycles we put on our planes.

The point was that Cape Air doesn't want turbines. So don't expect to see them.

That's 14 legs per aircraft per day. There are some lines that fly pilots that much but they are rare. Average for non ack air stuff is 6-8 legs @ 5-7 hours flight time.
