Re: Type ratings - yes or no?
Reality check - perhaps tis your attitude that precludes you from getting a position without buying your way into it. On a level playing field I'd venture to suggest you'd be well down the bottom of the pile with an attitude like the one you're displaying here! There's nought wrong with turboprops or their operators. Some of the best pairs of hands around are trolling around in the crappy weather.
Scroggs - I see where you're coming from....... all seem to have a very few number of postings eh? Hehe!
