F27-600; cost/asm is the second lowest in the game this round.  While the range is a bit on the short side (655), it is good enough to support ~20 planes from 2 bases, which should yield enough DOP to graduate from the 40-60 seat category.


I used these as they were the perfect balance for my regional airline.  Just enough cap and range for most of my destinations.

I think for pax,the CV-600 series is really good as well as the CV-580.
Both have quick turn times and good on fuel.
The NAMC YS-11 was wayyyy under powered,hence why they werent widely used.
Convairs had nice roomy cabins,only draw back with the CV-600 was she was extremely loud.
I rode on both the CV-580 & 600 many years ago,and enjoyed the flights on them.
