What kind of TP is it and does the operator have any other types that you could migrate up to? (i.e. jets).

TP flying does (to a certain extent) pigeon-hole you. As for moving on up to jets and larger operators, right now I would agree with the majority and say that if that is your ultimate desire, then (with the current market conditions) you're best to look at getting on with one of the loco's. However, that means submitting to the heinous SSTR system and forking out mucho cash. Your call on that one.

For the future - if the market did ever change - being an experienced TP pilot may create openings for you with jet operators. Just not right now.

My operator fortunately has both types, so there's a chance to move from one to the other - bonus.

As others have said - I would get some time RHS and keep your IT skills sharp. Keep as many irons in the fire as you can. I assume this TP is a JAR 25 aircraft and RHS is loggable as P2?

Best of luck
