Face it, flying a turboprop is just more fun. I have a long career to program a computer, I might as well have some fun while I'm young and still want to fly.

As for QOL, it all depends on where you go... I'm pretty darn happy with my QOL, but this type of place is very, very rare.

I know of a 1900C with an autopilot in it. I think the governor is also automatic.

During the interview and on IOE.
