get a grip A320.

What is your problem with flying anything else but a jet for an airline.

It maybe the higher pay result but it is no way the ultimate job for a pilot.

Who cares if you are charter, airline, freight, police, ambulance, corporate be it in islander, saab, dash, ATR, airbus or boeing.

You have a job which you love you get payed for flying.

Its quite insulting that you think that flying anything else but a jet is not real flying. Some of use don't actually want a jet job, we still get a kick out of flying the machine. The fun bit is the departure and the approach, the cruise for me is the crap but important bit in the middle. The only difference between the different jobs and machines is the length of time you have in the middle and the distance travelled and your T & C's.

Your biggest problem is not your hours, your qualifications, the way you trained. It's YOU, your personality, the way you come across in your CV's your inter personal skills and your attitude. Until you get that sorted you will always struggle getting what you think is a proper "flying job"
