From many previous posts:
"Until the higher level management of airlines in the UK get staffed by ex-turbo guys it will no doubt continue, as like all the best stereotypes, it has no basis in fact.
BTW, the BA attitude to TP drivers is oh so typical of that excuse for an 'airline'."
I am suprised at many of the comments, especially about BA and its alledged dislike of Turboprop pilots
Some facts
1. The current Director of Flight Operations at BA spent a large proportion of his career on Turboprops, and indeed was the Chief Pilot Highland division until 1992 ( Bae748/ATP)
2. Many current Training Captains/Managers have spent time on the Viscount/748/ATP
Whilst the techniques of operating a TP versus a jet are different, with a willingness to learn and a willing instructor, these differences can be forgotten by the end of the first sim detail
and yes I have flown both, and yes I have instructed Jet pilots onto turbprops and visa versa over the last few years.
