Im sorry to say it but nowadays turboprop/jet operators are looking for crew with time on type. my 2p.
I understand this, but I have seen some pilots with 800hrs enquiring on here about what Air Taxi firm would likely take them on and all the prooners and telling him with 800hrs the TP Ops will be sending him a xmas cards.

I'm more than happy to start at the bottom of the ladder I'm 25 not 45 so time is on my side ... for a while.

I'd be more than happy if I could fly a KingAir for a living, a Gulfstream Jet would mean reaching my ambition of flying a Jet for a living ... and a Heavey Jet, I think I'd wet myself.

I think I'd stand a good chance of getting a job with 1,000+hrs (700+ Multi) compared to say an Integrated 250hr Pilot.
