We fly the little DASH-8 prop jobs out of Pendleton into the big city. They are not bad. I think they seat about 26 or so. What we always laugh about is the early morning flight. They let everybody on board, we get seated, the flight attendant comes on and tells us all to move to the back of the plane so we can take off. The first time we just looked at each other but now we are use to it. They are actually quite smooth unless the weather is bad (did that once don't want to do it again but it wouldn't have been so bad if we could have just landed when our turn came instead of having to wait for all the big boys We just kept flying around in circles for like a half an hour before we could land.)
We've had better flights on these than on some of the smaller jets. Go figure.
Me personally I like the big jets in first class but you can't have everything.
