The Q400 is an incredibly smooth and quiet airplane...it literally blew me away my first ride in back. Up front is neat too, but the constant shake found in the yoke would probably drive me bananas.

Just come over to B 59 and we will get you to DRO. Usually not a problem. We ALWAYS try to get the jumpseaters to where they need to go.

From DEN: Mesa DHC-8-200: Should not be restricted much this time of year. SKW: CRJ's. Lynxx: DHC-8-400. List through the Frontier non-rev number.

From PHX: Mesa DHC-8's. Even less likely to be restricted than DEN flights.

Good Luck!

take lynx all year around, with the 400 there is almost never a weight problem out of dro, even in the summer with a full load.

And yes, it does have a FADEC, but no auto-throttle.
