I was not suggesting that the original poster needed to re-think anything. As I said, with his time he should do a LHS rating and could reasonably expect a direct entry command on any mid-sized jet he bought a rating on.
It is all the dreamers with 1500 hours in light aircraft who spend their money doing their 1st jet rating in the LHS, and maybe put 'Captain' on their c.v. to whom I address the advice - buy a RHS rating and make it clear that you only expect to be in the F/O seat for the next two to 10 years. And don't call yourself Captain on your c.v. until you are the boss of a two-crew airplane even if technically you are "the Captain". It annoys the hell out of those who expect a Captain to at least have a crew. Except when survey flying in Nigeria or somewhere, where any title is fair enough if it keeps you out of jail.
And of course military pilots get to command jets with less than 1500 hours, but the flying they do is nearly all training. So I am not saying someone could not go straight from a turboprop to a jet, just that it is a big ask if also changing Companies. Many insurance policies or contracts specify 1000 jet hours before command. I worked for a Company that required at least 500 in the RHS of the old gas chamber then decided on an individual basis whether to give someone a go at the upgrade. Sometimes they got it wrong and guys went for it too soon only to have to do another 500 hours before another shot. And these were people with maybe 5000 or 10000 hours on things like Dash 8's and F27's. Hence the advice.
