Good on you lot for wanting to go to TP for a bit.
They really are fun to fly and sometimes you have to stop yourself smiling after a challanging approach when the pax can see you.
BTW the pay isn't that bad. 18-30K for an FO and 35K-50k for a Captain which with todays market you can expect in 2-3 years.
And some of the newer TP's beat the pants off most of the jets in the cockpit and most of them stuff the jets for speed in the approach phase.
I have a suspicion that over the next few years that TP's will become more and more economic compared to regional jets. So if it all goes tits up again and you have to step back to TP flying you will be a better bet than a jet only person.
