Couincil Van, that must be a while back, no turboprop first officer job currently pays enough that it would get you a salary multiple to buy a family home. In most parts of the country not even a 1 bed flat, Haven't seen a turbo-prop job that pays much more than 26k starting for someone with no previous turbine time, (31k for a channel island based operator but in the channel islands 31k is only the same as 26k on the mainland due to the accommodation expense). 3.5 x 26 = 90k,
