If you’re that much in need of flying fulfilment just use some of the extra £100K you make sitting in the left seat of a jet vs a turboprop to rent a PA28.
I agree with some of the replies above. Would left seat ATR be more fun? 100% For a few years great. But you need to absolutely okay in your mind with the impact it’ll have on your future earnings. Delay it 3/4 years and that’s 3/4 years not spent as a training captain making a decent wedge, as that’s where the delay will hit.
What glamour?!
And it's not always about money, although I can see what motivates you.
