Turboprop command or Jet FO

Hi guys,

First of all i'm not sure if I should be placing this in the questions forum or here so don't shoot me down please. My question to all of you experienced pilots out there is. I'm currently in a position where my company wants me to go for command in the turboprop company I work for. It's a well known company who flies 23 tonne plus modern turboprops and of course it's nice to move up to the next level. However most of the guys I work with who are in the same position are leaving by the week for jet jobs else where. I'm just wondering what you would do if you were in my position. As a little background you could say age is on my side as I'm still only 25 and I must say I really enjoy the TP flying and the challenges it brings with it at times. In terms of pay it would probably bring me above a new joiner jet SFO although the difference would be negligable. However, recrutiment at the moment as you know is excellent and I'm worried in case another downfall happens and I miss the boat as such. What would you do?

Thanks in advance for any advice
