Hello Chesty. I used to fly turboprops and I loved it. Hands on flying that I miss daily. I was bothered to wait for my command but now I'm 'dragged' around the sky in jets. I work a civilised 2/3rd of the hours I used to and get paid 10k per annum more as an SFO than I would now be on maxing 900 a year as a prop capt. In the not too distant future I will double what I used to be on and still I have a home life (in the regions). As for my willy, I'm just chuffed it still works. Good luck
