The last time I was on a plane this small (it may even have been a Dornier) was with T3 when they ran the MAN-NWI route. It was very lightly loaded, with perhaps less than half-a-dozen or so of us scattered around the cabin. I was a few rows back, with an emergency exit row just behind me - although according to the only member of cabin crew, I was in fact responsible for opening the front door in the event of an emergency given the lack of passengers ahead of me on that side of the aircraft ...
