Since you only have 1 aircraft, it's too early to say if you should keep it or not, if you wish to operate small aircraft.
However, many consider small aircraft hard to run, when compared to jets. So if you want an easy game in which to get to know the game, you might rather wish to find a medium size airport with no other airline based there, and fly some modern jets like 737 or A320.

Well there are no airlines based at my base at the moment.... I think your right about the small aircraft ... would you recommend a smaller jet to run than the a 320s as i cant afford those at the moment?

It all depends on what kinds of routes you will be flying. Search the forums a bit and you'll find many topics discussing about choosing the right plane.
You shouldn't, however, get another plane besides the Fokker; either stick with them (get as many Fokkers as you can) or get rid of it and change the plane type completely (easiest to do if you bankrupt).
