Break Right,
Not quite. It's not usual to have guys with 3000 hours get a jet command. Chances are, they started with 250 hours in the RHS of said jet.
You are right when you say that they feel ripped off if they have to fly a turboprop first. There's an anomaly here that says you need 700 hours experience before you can do twin IFR charter etc.
So to get a Chieftain job, you need more hours than to get a jet job.
