Turbo Prop is so 1950's

I immigrated from Germany to the U.S.A on a turboprop in 1958.

The aircraft was larger than todays Bangkok Airways fleet.

I remember it took a very long time.

I was thirteen, I got to spend hours in the cockpit,

I loved it because I was getting first class food, instead of prefab aircraft meals.

Seems obvious to me, turbulence is more noticeable in smaller prop type planes, than jets.

A great little Airline, PB Air recently terminated it's fleet contract for Embraer ERJ 145 LR. An aircraft with an immaculate safety record.

To save money they switched to leasing ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft from Bangkok Air, adding half an hour flight time between Bangkok and Sakonnakhon.

With yesterdays crash of such an aircraft during a bad weather landing at Samui island, I am more inclined not to use local PB Air service at the moment, especially during the rainy season.

May strongly consider alternatives.

Sakonnakhon also no longer has a two fight day. Its a vitamin schedule "One A Day."
