Honestly ,you really want to buy a TurboProp rating to get chance in Executive Flying?:bored:
Well in my short Aviation Career havent seen much Props on the Aprons of popular Executive Fields.

Plus, it's all about who you know, not what rating you have (thankfully).
Anybody that wants to charter a private plane will not use a prop , the price is not much different and the jet is +-150 knots quicker . The few props you are going to see are people that own them , they tend to fly them themselves.

hmmm have seen a few piaggio avanti's on the GAT especially in Italy. But cant really go wrong with the King Air for air taxi work.
Good luck

Hi experienced pilot,
My advise is:
Get one of each, that way you have more options open.
In fact, while you are at it get some jet ratings also.
