If there are enough pax to fill a larger airplane, the larger airplane is almost always more efficient. But since pax love frequency, we often operate multiple flights with smaller aircraft rather than one large airplane daily. We are seeing the same thing with mainline...one 737 replacing 2-3 RJ's. |
You can bet some of the Ole Farts on the SAAB are laying bricks. They have hung out on the Saab because they were either to dumb or lazy to learn a new aircraft. Well breakout the flash cards Boys.

But if you're going to carry 50 pax, the saab needs to make TWO trips...there goes your efficiency advantage.

what a ridiculous comment. scheduling and location have nothing to do with it right??? too dumb to learn a new aircraft? imo all the newer airplanes are easier to learn and easier to fly. |

its sorta a trickle UP cycle....... I and some other on this board can remember when the companies or their predessors flew mainly 19 seat or ( smaller ) aircraft with some 30 seaters and 34 seaters thrown in.. Hell the ATR was the BIG mamma in those days. Those jetstreams and 1900's ( yes some still left ) are all but gone today... and the saab is just the next one on the block or so it would seem. Airlines have been getting bigger and bigger aircraft forever...... at ALL levels.........
The SAAB has been a great regional aircraft it will be sad to see it slip away over the next few years. |
it'll be interesting to see what happens with all those displaced pilots. you figure that with 23 saab's parking that's probably 120 pilots...it'll be interesting to see what those guys go and do. another thing to think of is all those check airman and instructors going back to the line that have like 300 years with the company.
