That said, I would say there is a significant difference between the flight characteristics of a jet vs. a turboprop; which is why I suspect the apps I've filled out are interested in the breakdown.
I understand your point. No offense meant. I guess I just can't wrap my head around the fact that these people seem to think to flying a turboprop at flight levels equal to an average CRJ/ERJ is out of the question.
Personally, flying a BE20/BE30 that high takes a lot of skill that most CRJ/ERJ pilots (might) take for granted.
I guess by grief with these "hiring" types is that they don't understand this.
But if the "hiring" people want to know this level of detail, then fine. I will spend the next 40 hours compiling what is turboprop, turbojet and turbofan.
Pointless? Yes. Required? Depends.
