NO CHICK DISCUSSION!
How safe do you feel flying on a regional jet plane or turbo plane? If there was price difference in about $50 dollars, would you fly via commuter plane instead of commercial one.

well I was in minor accident last year, pretty scary costed me 500dollars to fix my car in body shop. but with airplanes its different if there is an accident most likely say goodbye to your life
 
All regional carriers in the U.S. are pretty damn safe. We hear about 19 people dying in a crash and it's big news because it is a rare event. We don't hear about the hundreds of auto fatalities that occur EVERY DAY.
 
Flying in puddle-jumpers (small turbo props) doesn't bother me in the least.

As long as the aircraft is properly maintained, it is safe. There can be maintenance problems with large and small aircraft, large and small carriers.
