I'd also make a friendly suggestion that you give away slightly less of yourself on a public forum.

To answer your initial question, the basic route to turbines is that you get yourself a commercial pilot's licence endorsed to fly multi-engine piston aeroplanes. Then (in the ideal world) an airline offers you a job, and puts you through the type rating for the specific aircraft type they want you to fly. There's no generic "turbine rating" as such.
Thankyou Neilia that's what i needed I normally put as much research into it as i do typing on here
Thanks for everyones input, all constructive i understand.
