First ATR, as it was the only offer on the table. Moved to A320 as soon as I could, which meant 6 years and 2500 hours later.

Yes, jetjobs pay more and TP hours are most of the time considered worthless in the jet-operating airlines. If I could, I'd sell some of 5K TP hrs I have.

If you go flying Airbus with mindset "It's monitoring, not flying", your career will be short lived and if you are very unlucky, you might be short-lived too.
