Then why does so many Tp guys have problems getting a jet job? Myself came from Fokker 50 onto jets many years ago. Many guys didnt get the jet job, mind you it was an internal company fleet progression. Guys who didnt make it were told they didnt have the attitude of airline pilot. Guys who got terminated during training were told that they just didnt have enough knowledge. As a trainer, I personally prefer guys who had TP time but purely for the stick rudder skills which make training easier. However the attitude can ge questionable most of the time
