Part of the problem with P2F is that the traditional route for pilots. Instructor, turboprop, regional jet then large has all but disappeared.
There are plenty of pilots at my company (turboprop outfit) who would love to move onto jets but the thought of paying puts them off, these are pilots with 1000s of hours who have learned their trade and have a quality that I believe the jet companies should value.
Experience seems to count for nothing unless you have the pounds to back you up, it's all about the money and that's sad.
