I'd like to see how the 25 minute turn in JFK works for them.

life wasn't worth the balance, or the crumpled paper it was written on

No, its not DH2, its DH8. Not much call for a round engined taildragger on scheduled flights.

A 25 minute turn shouldn't be an issue, as long as planning builds ground and taxi times into the flights. Turning the aircraft in 25 minutes itself is the easy part.

two hour block time from CLE to JFK-- that's got some serious cushion in there. Bet the flying time, even in a turboprop, is 60 minutes-- assuming no ATC delays.
These planes are a big drop in capacity if when replacing the ERJ45.

Are you sure about that flight time?
I used to fly COEX from ABE-CLE when they had turboprob service, and it always took 90-100 minutes...

Quoting Ncflyer (Reply 16): two hour block time from CLE to JFK--
How's that for progress? I believe UA used 2 hour CLE-IDL block times for their DC-6B's. The airlines, which used to sell speed, are now running the schedules of 50 years ago.
As stated in another thread, so far all the new Commutair Dash8 flights are replacing ERJ's - not B1900's.

It's just smart. It's building in the fairly usual ATC delays that happen in/out of JFK. We have CLE-EWR flights that have like 1:50 block times, for that very reason.
25 XJRamper: Yeah its progress because that means the airlines are allowing for error into JFK. You are in the JFK system between 4p-10p be ready for massive dela
26 MasseyBrown: Today's block times may be "smart" and unfortunately they are a fact of life - but I don't know how you call them progress.
27 Falcon84: It may not be progress, but it's better than a time 30 minutes less, and dealing with constantly being late.
