It does look nice, however, it would look even better if mainline were flying it.

yep, my thought was...looks like a mainline airplane to me, should have mainline pay, and flown by mainline pilots...but we'll fight for whatever we can to get that buck and hour pay raise for the extra 20 seats.

Of course Aesthetics matters!!

Analogy:

- Pilot at bar hunts down most attractive female.
- Pilot at airport hunts down most attractive aircraft.

Duh...LoL

That tail looks rediculous. It is painted lower on the 200.

Anyone who "wants" to fly a Shorts aircraft needs serious counseling. :cool:

Those are some pretty cool planes, part of the original "commuter" aircraft fleet. They're perfect freight aircraft now.

I agree with those that are against -900's. I'm actually not so against them at the regional level, but I am against the fact that their pay scale is so ridiculously low. They are direct mainline replacement aircraft. Although we all did it, by applying and accepting the low pay.
