The guy that has 3000 hours on King Airs and caravans, doing actual hands on flying in remote regions of the world where airport and ATC services can be described as dodgy at best is a far more experienced and better equiped pilot to deal with emergencies than the 10000 hour guy in an airbus on autopilot flying the same route over and over.
As much as i'd like to agree, unfortunately I cant. The emergency situation depends entirely on what the 'emergency situation' is. I have no doubt the King air Pilot will probably have far better hands on flying skills however the average emergency which may present itself, is 9 times out of ten, found in the emergency checklist. The guy with 10,000 hours in the airbus will have seen the emergency twice a year in his/her LPC/OPC sim check and will probably be able to rattle of the vital actions and subsequent checklist items faster than you ca even realise what the emergency actually is.
