Getting past "must have type"
There has to be a way to get past the applications "must already have ______ type rating" or "must have ______ hours jet".
I have 2000 hour turboprop and only a handful of SIC jet hours.
There has to be a way to get someone to type me in their aircraft.
What's the secret other than the buddy system or knowing them in advance?

Yea but I have a family and can't afford $22,000/yr.
I currently have a $100,000/yr corporate job that I'm fixing to loose due to the oil bust. My company is going to have to liquidate the plane and I'll be out of a job in a few months...so I'm told.
I know I'll probably have to take a little cut in pay but I cant go from $100,000 to regional pay.
I need some sort of jet job to bring the pay we need as a family.

You're somewhat vague on your qualifications. Do you really only have 2000 hours? I think you're going to have a hard time finding a '100k' job with that little experience. In my 17 years of 121 time I have yet to cross that line. I'd guess your best bet is to stay in the corporate world where you have some network to keep you at that level. Either that or suck it up and put in at least a little time at the regional level. Best of luck.
