Just wondering if this is a common thing people do lol. Saw a flight to Ireland was an ATR-72, a prop plane. so I chose another flight and I got an A320 instead

Small planes and jets are the lion’s share of aircraft incidents. They aren’t inspected as often(more in the case of personal planes), lack the stability of larger craft, and aren’t always flown by experienced pilots. Not to mention they frequent small dirt or grass airfields instead of commercial airport tarmac.
There are like 3-5 small aircraft crashes a day. Small aircraft crash at like 25x the rate of larger craft.
