Whilst I agree with your statements on breaking into the jet jobs and how hard it is I would just like to say that I think you might find that there's more to a jet jock than you're giving him credit for. Have flown both turbo props (DHC-5 Buffalo, MAUW 21000kg's) and heavy jet and I think you'll struggle more with the transition from prop to jet then from jet back to prop. ALL the people I work with have come through the hard way and worked through the mill to get where they are! That doesn't mean we liked it but we did it. Got no time for people who've bought there way into there jobs or companies that employ them. I'm a firm believer that you keep applying the job will come. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!
