GG - I don't think i'm whinging, just after some sound advice from others that may have been down this path before. I'm not in a huge rush to get to the pinnacle of my career but would like to move on to something that offers some form of advancement ie. light twin maybe some turbine time.
Just put the resume out there and see what it brings. You need to get 500 multi command before you get on a turboprop. So I'd be aiming for an operator with this type of progression. Obviously you don't need 500 multi to fly a turboprop, but if you want a hassle free command upgrade I'd be aiming for it pretty quickly.

The usual suspects are there to send your resume to for that next step. Wait till you get a bite.

Age means nothing unless you want a command before you die at Qantas. I know guys that got into Jetstar/Virgin in their 40s (admittedly during the hiring boom) after starting late.

Chin up, you'll be right
