However, I am told that experience is not important to these operations because in Europe, a turboprop is usually someone's first job.
In Europe there is no problem with low time pilots as they are well trained in the sim etc. Here sadly it is not so, I think the answer to training is a cross between the new MPL and the current CPL training. This would mean there is a major part of the training conducted in a simulator of the aircraft type that the trainee will be progressing on to, but still maintain the 150-200 hours of "real" flying in the course.

Could help.
