I don't know about you Capt. Fathom but I ONLY travel business class where possible.

I'm speaking from many years of observations doing such.

I commend these young bucks for giving it a crack. However a kingair can't compete with full service, lie flat beds, video on demand and airline lounge facilities. Plus points and other perks to gold and greater frequent flyers.

A kingair can be a scary place when iced up descending and climbing through weather. Something you barely notice on a jet. How many times have you ever had to turn the wing anti ice on in jet? Just about every flight the deice boots get fired up in a turboprop. The sound of shedding ice can be scary for the unseasoned. Especially when the props are shedding ice.
