can I ask why?
 
merto

Sounds like saviboy has a job lined up with IBC Airways. I flew the metro, but never flew the Saab. I would have to say though, that the metro was one of the toughest turboprops that I've ever flown. Why it's single pilot beats me, but it shouldn't be.

Who is IBC?

I never flew the saab or metro, but the merlin.
 
I currently fly both at IBC Airways and the SAAB is a much easier plane to fly. But I have to admit that I enjoy flying the metro better. It builds characteras as a pilot in my opinion!!!
 
The Metro is kinda fun to fly once you get used to it. I am not sure why so many people make such a big deal about flying the pipe single pilot. It's really not a big deal.

Not a big deal untill you shoot an approach down to mins, go missed and are trying to lookup another airport. Kinda stressful when you are by yourself and don't have an autopilot.
