Well for a start all those that have payed for a JOC have not only pissed money into the wind but also cut themselves off for any turboprop jobs.

There are a few jobs kicking about TP wise both skippers and FO's but none that would ever consider a less than 200 hour intergrated bod. I think we have a 2000 hour FI starting soon once he has completed the sim.

I get to pick and choose CV's so any intergrated (which there is a bloody lot actually for a **** kicking TP outfit) get dumped in the bucket. Even a 1000 houred instructors are now getting to look low houred. And how do you go for a pilot that has more hours than myself for a FO job when I am a LTC?
