I agree with XJcaptain. I have flown both jets and turbo-props. I would fly with a prop guy any day over someone who has only flown jets (unless they are former/current military). I've flown jets with idiots that would bash turbo-prop pilots until they were blue in the face. And when the crap hit the fan, they would lose their composure over any situations out of the norm (ie. weather, icing, emergencies) while all along I'm sitting across from them, cool as a cucumber. I owe it all to my training and experience flying turbo-props!

"Prop Head" FOR LIFE!
