I cannot believe it that you FFers are recommending the Beech over a Dash 8. What routes are we talking about here?
The Dash looks like a jet incomparison and I find its seating (esp if you can get an empty one next to you) to be superior to the CRJ and the Beech.
But of course, on the Beech you get the real life experience of flying on a real airplane. Something I will gladly give up.
