@yankee_alpha - You'd hope so, but there seem to be a few type of employers out there in my experience while looking for the next best thing;
- They value total time and type of licence
- They want you to pay for your own training and type and seem fairly random in picking candidates
- They quite literally don't value experience on a light turboprop like the J31/32, like factorized hours and stuff like that
I flew the J31/32 for about 4 years and only started getting replies to my applications and calls for interviews after I passed 1500h total time and got my ATPL unfrozen. Even then it was one in many that replied, and often with the requirement of a self sponsored typerating.
I ended up fairly well now, on a regional jet and bonded instead of self sponsored. But don't take the 500h multicrew as a ticket to a job. Some will say it opens doors, that was not my experience.
