O.K. I'm sort of dense about this subject so can someone explain to me what the difference is between flying a twin and a single?
Or better yet once you are competent in handling an engine failure what else does a twin teach you as you cruise along that a single does not?

I've been flying the PC-12 for a couple of month now and I'm realy glad to see that the industry is beginning to see it at it's real value and overcome the fack that it's a single engine. I flew the navajo to and I can tell that there's much mure things to think in the 12

Hey troops, no problem I get so f.ckin fed up with all the B.S. in this industry I almost throw up.
Give me a smart young kid that wants to be a good pilot and I can teach him to fly any f.ckin aircraft made by man in a very short time...once they get the basics they then go on to become more experienced and have more to fall back on when making decisions.
But anyone who trys to make a big deal out of how hard it is to fly "ANY " aircraft that has been certified is doing a disfavour to this industry, and needs training so they can feel more confident themselves.
There you go gang thats my thoughts on this.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

No matter how true it is that flying a single or twin is almost the same (it's not rocket science), the fact remains that insurance companies require it, Contrial requires it, therefore (out west anyway) it's in your best interest to get some Multi time so you keep these options open. Sure it's retarded, but it's not going to change anytime soon. Either machine has it's pros, pick the one that will open the most doors down the road.

It's a sh$tty reality that a lot of companies won't touch you without multi PIC time (god, even for the right seat!).
I think the best advice given yet is to look at the future opportunities with each company - and also to look at the companies themselves. Even if one option was better for the resume, it'd suck if it meant selling your soul or working for a shady operator.
