In the end, I got what I wanted out of that question.

Unless you've flown a Howard 500 that comes in for a close second in cool factor but it lacks slightly for the grand prize.

Well it ain't called the "Vibroliner" just because it vibrates.

That being said, it was the best time I've ever had flying an aircraft. If I could fly it for the salary I make now, I'd do it in a heartbeat. There are those that live the "Tube" and those that don't. I miss it more than any other aircraft I've flown.

When you have 121 FOs getting hired with zero TPIC, It makes me question mine, and anyone else's decision to go to AMF if your end goal is a major 121. Fact: 95% of the pilots at AMF end up at a regional anyway. Sorry, but I would wager even Mesa has a better QOL than a UPS schedule at AMF.
Take it fwiw.
