I've got nearly 1,000 hours single pilot PIC time in an SA-226 Merlin III. This not an airplane that suffers amateurs and demands respect at all times. My next airplane was a DC-8. I found the work load and ease of flying the DC-8 to be extreme as compared to the Merlin. If you can fly a Metro/Merlin single pilot in the weather you've got this flying stuff figured out. I'd hire one of these guys over an RJ poge any day!
But they don't consult me n who to hire so it's a mute point!
