I'm just playing devil's advocate in previous posts - I also agree that turboprop = turbojet in terms of it being PIC. Maybe not after you have 5000+ hours of turboprop PIC, but to meet mins and get your foot in the door turboprop is certainly just as good if not better way to go (more difficult aircraft, flying, etc).

I would still like to see some ALPA or Air Inc sponsored survey on the matter though. It would make for a good read, and certainly discredit a "myth" (or could prove it...) .
