Re: Turboprop command or Jet FO
Treetopflyer, obviously no one can make that decision for you. It really depends on your personal set of cirmumstances.
A few points to consider:
- do you like your present employer?
- are you happy with your base?
- do you make enough money to comfortably live on?
- do you think your employer is in a solid financial state and offeres good job security?
If you answer yes to all of the above questions I don´t think you need to move. Size/type of aircraft should come second to quality of life I think.
Also remember that that quick command you were "promised" at the "not too dificult to guess" large biz-jet company is not a guarantee. You will still have to go through their command assesment and you might fail it. Don´t get me wrong, not talking about your qualifications or abilities, just saying it does happen, even to previous captains.
If you are not happy with your pleasent lot for any of the above or other reasons you should move on.
