Forget it. Look at the situation in the UK, if you are stuck at one of the turbo prop operators over here like Flybe, Eastern, Loganair etc then you can forget going to EasyJet, Thomas Cook, Monarch, Thomson etc because of the mighty CTC.
Experience counts for nothing nowadays, the only way into a jet job over here is BA, or move to the Middle East. The natural career progression for TP pilots has been well and truly cut off and is not likely to change. There is Jet2, but if you're from the South then you have to be prepared to move North. There's some very good, and experienced TP pilots who will probably spend their careers flying TPs because they've had most avenues closed. It's a real shame. Never mind.
