MEICC is fully paid by AMF. They truly want you to succeed. They need you as much as you need them! Actually, they might need you more.

I don't fly the E120s, but they're all two crew and much better autopilots than the BE1900. The 1900 autpilot has track, heading and altitude hold.
Most captains fly the plane up to altitude with track or heading hold and engage altitude hold once at cruise, I still enjoy flying it all manually up to 25,000ft and then engage track and altitude hold.

The 1900 I fly has a GNS530W, most have GTN750s, I've heard we have some with KLN90 left. None left without GPS or autopilot. All autopilots work and all GPS work.
