Jets v Props
Just a thought.
After a 17 year career in aircraft maintenance with the World's Favourite Airline, I moved to a small airline with two aircraft types both of which were turbo props (a career move into maintenance management).
Having come from where I did, I thought I knew everything about everything - a regular 'Joe Petroni'. My god did I come down with a bang - once you put a propellor on the front of a nice simple turbojet life gets very very complicated.
I remember thinking at the time that pilot salaries and career structure was completely the wrong way around - pilots should start off on nice and simple 747s and progress up the ladder towards the complicated, bite you in the ar*e, propellor aircraft.
Discuss.
