Good on ya NF. I'm with you. I have around 8000hrs, about 5000 turbine, including 2 types above 5700kg. I made the decision some time ago, while it would be nice to sit up the front of a B737 or A320, if it never happens because of the choices I have made then I wont have any regrets. To be honest flying medium sized turbo props isnt much different to jets (I guess?), theres just less pax behind you and the pay packet may be a little less (depending where you choose to work).
Lifestyle is better though.
There is only one reason companys charge for training these days anyway "BECAUSE THEY CAN".
Cheers
