Hi guys.
I'm new here but I'd like to get some educated opinions from you all if you can help me make my decision. I'm gonna be able to choose either of these 2 birds (King Air BE200 or Metroliner SW4) in the near future as copilot and I'd like to know if you guys think one is better than the other.
I am not all that familiar with FAA regulations (I'm Canadian), but I believe the equivalent to you is part 135. The company is a nice charter/scheduled operation and they've been in business for 7-8 years and are doing well. Really friendly folks, and as far as I can tell, both planes fly the same amount of time year round.
Since they're both turboprop, anyone of the two better than the other? Anything else I should take into account? BTW both fly with 2-pilot crews. Reason I'm asking in part is because they have 2 Metroliners (one in maintenance for some time now) and 1 King Air, but I've checked accross Canada and if anything were to happen to that company, there are far more King Airs then Metroliners, so I guess right now I'm leaning towards the BE200.
Any help would be appreciated!
