Yes flying a nice shiny jet is appealing,moneywise and some glamour maybe??
h'mm glamour that will soon wear off.
appealing:- yes i can understand that the grass is always greener on the otherside of the fence
moneywise:- yes you get payed more. But most turboprop operators have bases away from the main hubs so quality of lifestyle will be comparable to the higher earning jet pilots who will have to fund living in the SE for example if not better.
And no extra fun.
I am sure in time the jet life style will become a higher priority.
To be honest I didn't even apply for any jet jobs.
