Should have had you on the flight from ATL-SEA lastnight, you could have punched the 3 children that were seated around me...all 3 decided that screaming at the same time was the "cool thing to do".

Back in the day, weren't 1900 and J31 drivers jealous of "the mainline" Dash 8?

Nope, A/C sucked on the 19hondo...
You also forgot to mention that the Brasilia had an APU.

Pfffft. Until you guys do 11 legs and 8 hours of hard fly a day, 110+ hours a month, in weather that'd make a polar bear freeze, and have to share the hotel room with the guy you're flying with, you're nothing but bunch of slacked jawed wussies.
You need to get some game to even think about stepping on my lawn.

Worst A/C system ever. Be glad you were flying them in the NE instead of in the 100 degree Florida heat.

ROC, SYR, ALB, LEB, PQI, BHB, RKD, and AUG were pretty damn cold. Also, no hotel. Try a crash pad with 8 of your favorite coworkers...

I used to do 20+ legs a day hauling 5000 pounds of mail and freight. The day was load, fly, unload, and fly back. Doing that multiple times a day was work. My back was about dead.

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
Jetstream 31, Sunday: JST-PIT-AOO-PIT-JST-PIT-JST-PIT-AOO-PIT-JST then go back to the ghetto row house with no AC and orange fungus on the walls that we all shared. Stopped at Sheetz on the way "home" for a hotdog combo ($1.99) then went to sleep on the air mattress next to the Captain who had been riding me all day long.

Was he black, did you require a wheelchair and diapers afterwards?

You both keyed off on the wrong part of all of that. Shame on you.

Oh man. Apparently the fungus wasn't the only thing you shared...
You should tell your captain not to dip his pen ... you know, nevermind.

Well... you live in Arkansas. Aren't you scared at the sound of banjos!?

Zap was probably totally a spooner!

Eh, you might be OK, but understand you were in/near cushy civilization. But try FAR, HON, GFK, MHE, BKX, MOT, plus a couple more north of the border like Saskatoon. The only thing between them and the North Pole was a barbed wire fence.
Gave new meaning to the phrase "shrinkage". Pftttt....more like "fully retractable gear".
You can step on the lawn. Gently.

This thread really makes me appreciate the ATR. The only negative thing I remember is how hot it was. Other than that, it never played games with you. It wasn't the prettiest, nor was it the best performing, but it was a truck that could haul anything and once you got used to it, real easy to fly and land. Plus, having the cargo area separate you from the passengers and flight attendants was amazing.
