Turboprops are great, I was thinking more of the number of years without parole that you can end up doing on them in companies like Air Nelson.
Had a lot of fun flying Jetstreams and F27's, but four of five years of it was more than enough!
Yeah, NZ (and Aussie I guess) is the only aviation environment in the world where you get penalised for widening your horizons and experiencing airspace that is actually busy. Such is the small-mindedness that exists in some companies. Bitter and twisted ex-instructors who saw some of us getting some overseas experience on fast shiny things while they were still circuit-bashing, and decided to get even with any who dared to go overseas, when they eventually rose to power in the likes of Air Nelson. If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.
