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.
I say again....
Are we to conclude from your earlier post that you and your "friend" have zero turbine (turboprop or jet) PIC time? And, that you/he had just over 300 hours total time when you started flying the Dash 8 in the NE US airspace under Part 121? Plus, you've never flown anything bigger than a 50 seat Dash 8.
Do I have that correct? Or is there some missing information from what you volunteered here...
This is your opportunity to "revise and extend" your remarks.... The peanut gallery has begun to draw their own conclusions from you failure to answer.
On the positive side, all you can do is keep your PRIA records clean by not having problems in training, and continue to build time, especially the coveted PIC time. Eventually times will change and you will be in a position where you will be what a company is actively looking for, not just knocking on their door asking them to make a significant financial gamble on you. For companies, it is all about risk management, financial and operational.
Fly Safe out there.
