That's the unfortunate truth. Even the smaller ERJ's and CRJ's are looked down on by most pax. Most pax aren't very enthused about flying anyway.

Unfortunately using turboprops will not draw in your average, garden variety payin pax. A lot of airlines here in the US switched to mostly RJ'S for feeder service. They probably got a pretty good deal on the used ERJ's. It's also probably easier to fill a 50 seat aircraft as opposed to 70 seats this early in their venture.

If anyone had the pleasure of using the lav in a Jetstream J41, the emegency door is across from the toilet and next to the F/A jump seat. The window on the door is toward the bottom and you can get a great view of what we fly over.

Don't forget the MD 17.

I was flying with an FO who went straight to the gate instead of the crew room to pick up his revisions. This was just before iPads came out. He let the captain know. We'd already loaded the pax, yet we had to taxi to the crew room so he could be legal to fly. That was a great start to a four day pairing.

That's why they still have Jeppesen revisions. Approaches can change.

Each pilot is required to have the same "paperwork", GOM's, Jeppesen charts (of which there are usually revisions), etc.

I totally agree.

Sounds trivial, but with pilots going paperless, I'm pretty sure his iPad probably had most of his essential documentation.

I read about that. There's even a picture with 3 flight attendants fitting inside. I'm sure there will be a cabin option to make those smaller and add more seats as well.
