Which is your preferred aircraft for your short/ medium haul routes, and why?

I prefer the F27, because it is relatively cheap to run.

I like the L188 Electra for a couple of reasons
a) 97 seats for only $21M = ceapest per seat cost you can get on currently available planes
Speed of 362 is best speed of the 3 (second highest is Viscount at 282!)
c) Range is better

L-188 Electra, fairly cheap, most number of seats for my high density routes, not to expensive to run.

l-188 by far... but its in its own catagory... the others are good for the short hauls, but this is made for med but still does very well on the short... i use it completely, last round, i was making my whole fleet with them, i had over 100. they carry the most, the cheapest, has longest range, and is the fastest... i also use them because my brother works on them... well the p-3, which is the same airframe, just modified...

I like the Lock L-188 little more in opp cost than the Vic but more than makes up for it in seating and air time, just my 2 cents worth

I use SE-210 Caravelle only because of time to get it into operation, I am sure I will be adding the Lock to the fleet in time if its still being made

Electra L-188 is the best aircraft in the game and its a pity we wont be able to order more, once 1962 hits AE. The Caravelle is nothing special really...
