I don't understand why you guys in Flybe and Bacon don't just pick up your sticks and go and earn a hell of alot more money with one of the jet low cost operators. There are so many jobs out there only an idiot would fly a prop aircraft for 40 grand!! I know for a fact if you have Q400 command time the jet operators are more than happy to put you in the left seat of a bus/ 737/ (one guy I know got a 757 command) In my mind flying a prop should command 100 grand plus. If flybe offered that, I might think about it.
Loads of jobs lads but it's up to you.
