Hi

Just my two cents worth

Command Piston or turbine P2 Which do airlines prefer?Airlines I take it are those flying the shiny jets and turbine props.

You are never going to be hired direct entry into the left seat of any airline in a multicrew envoirnment with P1 piston time no matter how much time you have, therefore go fof the F/Os job on the turbine.

Its safer ,its two crew you'll always have someone beside you with more experiance to learn from and boy will you learn fast.

The airlines will find your experiance matches their mulit crew demands more closely

and it will probably pay better

above all its safer

best of luck and Im not trying to be a smart ass just a help
