Those who reject applications from turbo-prop pilots are plainly ignorant, unenlightened and doing their companies a disservice. Or they have poor instructors, or both. I am an average pilot, maybe even less than average, and I found the transition from steam (F27) to the space age (F100) pretty trivial. I had good instructors and went through on plan. And this also shows how pointless the EFIS requirement is as well. What companies really want are trainable pilots. Those who look for hours of this and hours of that are really showing their ineptitude in recruitment, frequently lead by the numpties in Human Remains who are often responsible for some of the ridiculous selection criteria. These lovely people just don't have the courage to ask for a licence, currency and a willingness to learn.
