i personally must say i had only rarely the opportunity to meet verified +20000 hours pilots sitting now leftseat in widebodies shortly before retirement. and none of them would join every day an open aviation forum spending hours for hours in argueing for aviation questions. no- in freetime they want to hear nothing about the damn aviation, they look for their family being mostly a grandfather...
I'm retired. I do not argue unless attacked personally, which you are doing.
You doubt my career, fine, I could care less, as don't care what you think.

I think they were given a bad rap and if you look at the data, the BE200 has a pretty bad safety record in recent years, not sure why though.
Quite correct on the BE-200 safety records, in fact there are none of the more 'traditional' turbo-props that have what one could consider a really good safety record. By traditional I mean the MU-2, Turbo Commander, Merlin II and the BE-200. Go to the NTSB website and you'll see what I mean.
