I had the pleasure of ride along in a EMB-135, that thing is so automated a low time guy can fly that thing with out any problems.
Thanks for the heads up about the prop airlines. That's what I'm looking at right now (possibly Colgan). When you're flying airplanes with no autopilot, you want someone with good instrument skills and experience up front.
