If the “industry” cared they wouldn’t be flying big jets all over the world and coast-to-coast more then half empty. Sure, buy some props to fly to Buffalo and say “we care”, what a joke.

Sorry, but....
 
I think you guys are far too worried about extremists like AOC and other "Green New Deal" types having influence in this. She's only a rookie congresswoman who probably has just a 20% approval rating outside her district. They can jump up and down and scream all they want, but remember that Mitch McConnell still controls what legislation will come for a vote, and he's one tough SOB.

He's going to laugh when they try to get a radical bill through the senate.

Like do we have actual concrete examples that the vast majority of the public thinks props are dangerous?

Make it as comfortable inside as the new Embraers and I don’t think anyone will care.

Heck I think flying on a Q400 is a vastly more comfortable experience than a CRJ.

There is dislike, not so much fear.

I'm pretty sure Buffalo is the last place anyone will be flying props anytime soon.

PAX do not. Just sit in SEA concourse C and you will hear. (Hub of Horizon).

Literally heard a PAX today in ATL say "Well atleast it's not a prop plane" while looking at a CRJ200 out the window.

Considering that they had prop service up until just a few years ago....

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know...morons.

Ha! Awesome reference!

I used to fly the Brasilia, and most pax really liked the plane. But I think it was more for the novelty... Many of them took pics with it, ha ha.

Maybe currently in 2020, but not necessarily in 2028.
