Sidestick - some words of support hopefully!

The saab 2000 expeience is great and most definitely NOT standing in your way BUT you are suffering from Jet snobbery. All the jet operators seem to think they are superior in some way to TP operators and to be frank this is BS. You are quite correct in yr assessment of Jet Jox as opposed to TP ones and throw most in the sim SE and they would poop the panties alright. The transition to JET requires only that you plan and look ahead earlier.......

Give Ryanair a ring and I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms albeit as an FO. Otherwise just apply for every new Jet operator that comes along - that was how I got my break (disproving the theory that it is an insurance or AOC requirement).
