Roboto
Good advice from Jetdriver.
In my own case I hoped to fly a jet after getting my licence but did not get to fly a jet until I had 4200 hours & almost 6 years of flying props.
It was still well worth the wait!
The experience gained on a/c such a turboprops is very valuable. Having spent a few years picking up ice and learning to deal with the hazard it was suprising to see just how much less the jets suffer from this.
The trouble can be that pilots who go directly on to a jet can skip some good learning points re hazards that a high performance jet largely protects you from. One day thay might wish that they had had a little more exposure in the early formative commercial flying years to factors such as icing and heavy crosswinds etc during the multiple-type (4-6) sector days that you do on turboprop type operations.
Good luck Roboto. Hope your wait is not too long. Remember all flying experience is valuable so when it comes -whatever the level-enjoy it. Before you know it I am sure that you will realise your dream.
