He's on domestic flights, so essentially turboprops. Q300's, ATR-72's and Beech 1900D's.

I once dumbfounded a flight attendant last time I flew a Delta MD-90 telling her two of the planes were actually built in China. Of course Delta has 65 of them (with two stored) which is the majority of them built, let alone the majority still in service. N964DN and N965DN are the ones built in China. I've been on the MD-90 only thrice with Delta, once before they got the aircraft from China (used from China Southern) in 2012, so my chances have been low to actually get on one of them.
I don't fly nearly enough for my liking.

Ah, so the regional flights. Yuck, I'd prefer not to be in a plane I can't stand up in. I hit my head on the roof of the Delta CRJs and ERJs I often fly.
You'll thee the 733 and A320 on some domestic flights in NZ, just only between large cities.

Umm, cars? Vroom vroom?
That's about all I've got.

Q300's and ATR's seat the same amounts of people as CRJ's and ERJ's. I've only flown on the Q300 twice and I didn't have height issues. None of the cabin crew did. The thing is, NZ is about the size of Colorado and lacks dedicated train services (plus, the terrain of this country makes driving a labor if anything. Two and half hours at the least to drive about 70 miles my ass) so flying is about the only way we can get around quickly.

Well the shit thing is I'm stuck here for a while longer, because I can't move until I get enough money, and surgery is priority #1 (don't want anywhere I'd immigrate to to question my status as female) so I'm pretty fucked.
