Turbo props operate in the worst weather
Really? I've not see any turboprops around the ITCZ!

Having flown TPs and large jets, I promise you that the jet operation is far more complex and demanding than flying regional TPs. As LH pilot, you'll have to be up to speed with all sorts of weather, hot ops, high density airfields, HF ops, island ops, north Atlantic ops, fatigue management etc etc etc. I am not denigrating TP ops but there is this perceived wisdom that TP ops are just as complex as jet ops.
