BUT WHY???
Ya Know, in my mind, it would seem like a guy with lotsa PISTON twin time would be the better pick. Anybody who can successfully START a turbine anything can fly it without breaking it. Proven fact. But, guys who have a lot of time in 402's, Navajo's, DC-3, DC-6, anything with turbocharged recips or (Dear Gawd) radials; older fragile engines which have to be babied to prevent shock cooling, and which are prone to the occasional failure.....seem like the kinda guys I'd want in my big expensive jet. If they can fly stuff like that gently, and deal with the occasional problems, they surely can handle a little candy-a$$ turbine.
