Concur. At the moment I'd fly for anyone that's prepared to pay me a half decent salary. And it's not a question of skipping turboprops. There are not that many ab-initio jet jobs around and you have to be very lucky. Reality is that most will have to serve their apprenticeship elsewhere before moving up to the big time.
Q400 has glass cockpit and 360 kt cruise so is quite gucci as turbo-props go.
