I have caravan exp flying part 135 cargo at night. Guys, the Caravan is turbine PIC. I'm flying a Lear now, thanks to being a caravan pilot in my last gig. Sir, thanks for posting this. I wish people weren't hostile to those who post jobs. If you have a question, ask it respectfully or they'll go to a job board you have to pay for.

From what I've seen is that PIC SE turbine is better than ME piston, when going to the next step per say.

Agreed

Just ANY single engine turbine isn't going to get the same attention - Caravan or other.

^^ What he said.^^
I would hire the right low time Viper guy over a 1000 ME piston guy in a heart beat. Anyone can get ME piston time, not everyone van get Viper time...way too many checks and balances along the way to skate.
