Any support or advice you can provide would be much appreciated.
I wind up on the Dash 8 all the time (regional travel for work). They are fine...not 'flimsy' and dont get knocked around any more than any other smaller regional jet.

and if you are really nervous you can always have your doc write you a script for an anti-anxiety med to help take the edge off...or just a couple of adult beverages in the terminal before your flight...

you'll be fine.
