Turboprop transition to jet?

Hi,


I´ve been looking around some post and i decided to open a new one.

I am actually flying TURBOPROP (below 10 TONNES) as a Captain around 5000 total time, 4000 PIC. And is absolutly imposible to find any JET company that accepts this type of profile. Any body in my situation? there is even an article talking on this issue on the balpa magazine. It seems to me incredible that big airlines prefer my copilots with around 400 hours than me with the experience that this type of flying (as you may know) represents.

All copilots that flown with me in the last years are already flying on jet, and i am even thinking in this ****ty line trainings, really it seems the only posible solution. Even the market is growing up and more pilots are needed, each time an airline looks for pilots they ask for jet time on a 20 t or more plane and EFIS.

Any help or comment will be highly apreciated.
