I've flown the Avro's of SNBA, brussels airlines several times and yes the seats seem to be a little bit worn out these days. However I'd rather fly in slightly worn out seats which give me a comfortable ride and a nice pitch rather than in seats where you are squeezed together in order to sit down. My choice is quickly made !!!
That's all very subjective I'm afraid!! I myself find the Avrojet to be a nice little plane with lots of qualities. It's not the perfect plane but from the looks it's at least different than the usual 2 engined aircraft. But as I said it's all very subjective and I don't think that the normal passenger will be influenced by this matter. As long as the company brings you from A to B in a decent manner they'll be satisfied.And from the outside, the Avrojets don't look very sexy. That does not help. You're right Fokker_f27, the sexiest girl in the sky is still the Caravelle (only, we don't see her anymore Crying or Very sad )
