Why is everyone so fixated on a Jet job?
Use the situation to your advantage.
Example,
Pilot A goes to a non-jet operator, seen as 'second' best to all the other airlines, due to this, they have to pay for peoples type ratings to get pilots through the door. Pilot A gets a free type rating spends 2-3 years flying the line, gaining hours which he is PAID FOR (albeit not the 6 figure sums all pilots ultimately aim for) then moves on as an experienced pilot and gets another free type rating on a shiney jet.
Pilot B goes to a Jet operator, seen as a great company because they fly big shiney jets 
However because the airline knows this they exploit it and He/she has to fork out another 20k to get the job, then has to pay more £££ for line training, uniform, food, accomodation......once he/she is type rated gets offered a 'pay as you fly' contract position. A few months down the line the hours dry up because there are more Pilot B's behind him doing exactly the same thing and he/she's fantastic Jet pay is the same as the Pilot A's second best turboprop pay. On top of that Pilot B is then ordered to be based somewhere else at his own expense.... and after doing this cycle for 2/3 years he is in the same position as Pilot A but with 20k more debt to his name!
This is from personal experiance, and will no doubt fall on deaf ears
