Like I have much of a choice these days on some of the routes that I fly if I want to fly CO. Get real!

It certainly was up to the task of a 300 mile flight vs the kenjets. However, I do remember what the Q-200 replaced (Beach 1900), and in my opinion, that was an improvement.
I do remember your TR...it was good. I've flown once on a 400, and didn't like that either (but IIRC it was better than that horrific 200). How anyone could prefer one of these beasts over an ERJ is beyond me.
