What I don't understand is why anybody would be afraid to fly in a smaller plane. I think they are better than larger aircraft. They may react to weather more than a larger aircraft but this is offset by the smaller load and therefore less time getting baggage at the end of the flight, and, possibly, better service by the (usually 1) flight attendant. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis W Zeuch" <DZTOPS@aol.com> To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 20:22 Subject: Re: [AIRLINE] regional jets (part2 Tampa trip) > As I said was very impressed with the RJ's after being scared to death at the > thought of a smaller plane.
