I understand the appeal of private (business) jets: they're sleek, powerful, beautiful, quiet, comfortable, exclusive and able to cover enormous distances at quite astonishing speeds. They are genuinely amazing bits of kit, and no rich businessman or woman should be without one. But I think if I had the cash, I'd still opt for a little Logie-style propeller plane.
An ATR turboprop just looks more approachable to me. Perhaps it's the fact that a turboprop plane looks alive - those spinning propellers have the same subconscious appeal as seeing a galloping horse with its mane streaming in the wind (or the smoke puffs blowing from a steam locomotive and the connecting rods on the wheels moving), whereas a jet engine (or a diesel-electric locomotive) has nothing to show that it's actually doing anything. Plenty of noise and action, but nothing turning or moving or reciprocating.
Don't get me wrong - I love the Citations and all the other executive jets, and have nothing but admiration for their flying abilities - but they just seem... cold. Detached. Aloof.
In car terms, it's like a Tesla versus an old MG roadster. The Tesla is faster, quieter, and more sophisticated, but it's not alive. It has no beating heart. Its 'engine' doesn't literally breathe. It's an appliance, not a companion.
A turboprop plane may be unconscionably slow, noisy and 'uncool' if you're a 12 year-old boy concerned with figures and stats and measuring things with rulers to see what's biggest, but I like ATRs. They look alive. They wave their 'jazz hands' propellers like excited stage performers or cheerleaders pushing pom-poms. They're endearingly adorable, as well as being desirable and effective aircraft.
It's noticeable that the little Loganair 'Logies' - with their cargoes of haggis, malt whisky and yummy Scottish shortbread; and the Isle of Man planes with their seats and overhead lockers stuffed with tailless Manx moggies - always attract a lot of attention on the stream. People like to see them, even if it's just to pat them on the head and say, "Awww, ickle plane, you're so cute..."
The size thing is also very deceptive. We spend hours watching big jets and tend to lose sight of just how HUGE they are. As they trundle along the runway they look like cars on a road, so we adjust our perceptions and lose track of reality. 170+ mph looks like 50 mph. The runways look like ordinary narrow English streets.
The reality is that an international standard runway is 50 metres wide. Fifty metres? That's 164 feet! The big jets look 'right' on them; the ATRs look tiny, but they're still enormous aircraft, as you can see if an airport (Land Rover-type) ground vehicle passes close to one.
The ATRs seat either 42 or 72 passengers. Have a look online at their seating arrangements, then imagine gutting one and converting it to 'ultra-premium business class'. Maybe 8 seats, in all that space?
Oooh, that'd be nice. Business jets are all about saving time, getting to meetings, never being late for an international appointment... Rush, rush, rush. It's all jolly undignified.
If I were wealthy, I'd make everyone WAIT. You're only really rich when people acknowledge that the correct time for a meeting to begin is when you arrive. That's how royalty used to operate.
And if that means Empress Eleanor (yeah, that's me!🤣) relaxing in the bath of her slowcoach ATR and arriving two hours after Bezos and Musk and the other sweaty oiks have assembled, so be it.
What ho, peasants. Have some of your technicians tend to my aircraft, please. Now, you may begin... 🙂
