Now do you think if i know who you are, with your heartless mentality, do you think i will help you out? Remember strange things have happened in aviation, quit drinking before you post.

I've been there with a logbook full of turboprop time. You know what I did? Keep plugging away. Things take time. I eventually got my break. You will too. Patience is a virtue.
I'm glad that you know how it feels, and some day like you said there will be a break, and i'm waiting patiently.

I don't disagree with this statement at all, because this is indeed a small industry and I've yet to work for a company that I've ever really been fully "comfortable".

However, the sheer arrogance of threatening me with that fact based off of two or three exchanges on a message board shows that you might indeed be the heartless one.I was just giving a scenario that has been a reality for some peoples i have talked to. If you ever need a job to put food on a table and pay the bills i have never denied anybody. Hell, i have helped a college buddy of mine which i did not like, that nobody in my class actually liked, but he came to me and asked me to help him get the flying gig and i did.

The funny thing is that only you have mentioned this "Turboprop pilots aren't as good as Jet pilots" thing. Most professional pilots wouldn't even consider this to be true because it's asinine. I don't think I'll ever be as good of a stick as I was when I was flying turboprops with no autopilot.
I never said Tprop aren't as good as jet, I said omni recruiter rejected my friend resume and told him they're not taking Tprop guys. 99% of the pilot in their right mind knows it B.S. But reality is right now Tprop PIC guys are having a hard time finding better gigs than going back at the bottom of a regional and build some jet times. Which a lot of my friends including me are flirting with that idea.


What it all boils down to is an airline can freely set it's minimums wherever they choose because they can.

And there is always room to learn other kinds of operations such as omni which is a challenging one i understand it to be . Well hopefully the company mentally toward Tprop drivers changes sometimes, because saying to someone company don't want Tprop anymore is kind of leaning toward being arrogant.

Go to the delta, ucal, atlas, north american, and world boards and post the same thing and see if you get the same response as you are getting here. My bet is you do. Posting and whining on here like my two year old daughter won't help you at all.
