Just out of curiosity, what makes TPs more fun than jets to fly?
Probably more sectors in a day, so more take off's and landings. Less automation so more hands on flying. You can fly it like a light twin, 'pole' it round the sky to your hearts content. We fly low level VFR quite often....all good fun! Or you could sit for 8 hours watching an FMS fly you across the Atlantic......and back again the next day...ILS to ILS.....yawn
!!
I fly regularly with guys who've been on TP's for years. You could offer the Boeing 777 or Airbus A380 job tomorrow and they wouldnt touch it with a barge pole. They couldnt hack it because theyd be bored out of their minds. Yet ironically its the 'big jet' job that all the 'wannabes' seem to aspire to. Possibly its a salary thing.....maybe its just ego.
