Imagine Fly Dixie? You can't and that's the point! People like simple and fast.
That's too bad, have you flown in one?
But Colgan Air does operate 340s out of my local airport, and I hope to have an excuse to fly on one some time 
The 2000 is one of the coolest planes that I guess was sadly a victim of the rush to buy RJs.
But dont they still make the Saab 340??? like the Saab 2000?
Another thing is the Tu-204 operational cost.
The problem with the Tu is the operating costs, It is less efficient than the 757 and the worldwide support service lacks, compared to Boeing or Airbus, which means that the support infrastructure is bad. If the plane breaks down, you are stuck. It may take a few days before spare parts can be flown in.This will be very expensive because you got an idle plane and you will have to hire a last-minute replacement aircraft. If you thought last minute flights that suit your exact wishes where expensive, you try booking a last minute plane!
That should be penalized somehow in the game.

That was exciting. Also spent some time waiting for a flight out of Burlington VT (BTV) on Monday, that was fun. Aside from Jet Blue's Airbuses, it's mostly regional jets and turboprops. But as an added bonus, the VT Air National Guard, "The Green Mountain Boys" were getting some stick time in the F-16s, practicing takeoffs and landings, and maneuvers around the area. Dual-use airports like that are neat. In between all the civil air traffic, suddenly you'd hear this roar as a fighter took off, sometimes with afterburner, sometimes without. Good stuff.
As mentioned in my second entrry to this thread, ISP was the first special request airport I did... its already submitted... just waiting for Tobias to add it to the database when he gets a few spare minutes.
Thanks!
