Don't forget what they say as you pass them in the jetway... ;)

I guess I should also say I have turbine PIC in a piaggio Avanti. I’m sure the Turbine PIC goes a long way

in all seriousness TPIC/ turbine time is turbine time which they want so it’s all good doesn’t matter what it’s in

I always say “You have control of the jet aircraft”. I figure I cover all bases with that.
