I have flown a lot of these in my time and I don't have an issue with them. However, I believe that these flights are being switched over to the Q-200 series of planes which are bigger (about 35 passengers) and have a bathroomette in case you need to go for the 30 minute flight. However, I find these planes noisy and full of vibrations. I don't think they are an improvement over the B-1900.

My PIT-CLE experiences have been on newer Dash8-200s that were much better than the old US dash8's or the Beech 1900... FWIW...
