I'd rather be a pilot who has 100+ recent hours in a Baron, piston Navajo or Cessna 404/414/421 than someone with 500 hours in the Van. I know at SkyWest if you have less than 100 hours in MEs and 1000+ hours in PC12s or Caravans you will not get an interview, but if you have 100+ ME and no Van or PC12 time you will (assuming they meet the rest of the ATP mins). Even 6 years ago 100 ME trumped 1000 SE Turbine. Bottom line, piston multi means more than Turbine Single. Now if you have two pilots with the equal credentials and 100 ME hours but one also has 1000 hours of SE Turbine Van/12 time then the Van/12 driver should get the call first.

Regardless PW is an ignorant SPS pilots trap.
