Agree with the above. The B1900 is only a blown up King Air and if it were not for the weight could easily be flown single pilot. In fact in private operations it can be flown single pilot under some jurisdictions. A bit like the smaller Citations - i.e. not a real jet and thus experience on such types not as highly regarded as if on something a bit heavier and a bit more complex. If it were Metro time, maybe.....because the Metro is quite demanding to fly well.
At least that's how I saw it when I was in the business of hiring pilots for jets.
