I might tweak that a little; the airplane is hand built Italian...wayyy to mx intensive for day-to-day use...and a turboprop...no customer wants to spend money on one of those...
Now, if it was used for what it was designed for- regional airplane, parked in the hangar with a dedicated pit crew- it might treat you OK. Unfortunately, that prices one out of the competition.
Bottom line, wrong airplane for that job.
