If we have an x turbo prop from our company they seem to have no problems with it. It's the 250 hour pilots that have only flown the emb, hired 5 years ago and just made capt. Being thrown in a jet with training that focuses on using the auto pilot with that low of hours creates bad habbits....aka happy hands...idol at 50 feet...not using the rudder....having the experience with a big turbo prop with no auto pilot helps create a better base for a pilot. It's just a observation not a fact.

and yes there are exemptions to that rule.
I typed this on my iPhone and I yes i need to back to English 101.
