Listen guys if you don't like the deal.....don't accept it. It's the only way T&C's will improve at all these type of operations. Beats me why they are so reluctant to give a fair deal to ex turbo prop drivers but roll the red carpet out to ex Mil guys like Binsleepen who have no commercial experience whatsoever, but who have an expert opinoin about anything and everything and will give it with authority and conviction.
Having flown everything from C150 to the Electra from DC 9 to 777, with PPL's to Mil to wannabe Astronauts!...with the odd exception, guys with commercial experience are far better suited....and most of them are a safe bet for passing a line check.
