I Agree with the above.

Adding to that; the metro will give you some great experience and get you/keep you current. Once you get in your groove, flying it and meeting people at fbo's or in your networking endeavours, it will make you stand out. That plane takes some work to fly either single or dual pilot as a PIC, and the experience will help you land the jet-type job you seek.

I flew the metro as PIC ( I hope you have a PIC opportunity) and there has not been one person who looked at my qualifications and didn't consider me a cut above the rest. Not bragging, but that's the truth. Anyone can be an SIC in a plane, follow instructions and do the work, but it takes knowledge and flying skills/instrument skills to handle that plane in hard IFR and especially when the crap hits the fan and they're depending on you to get the flight done within ops-specs and regulations.

And to reiterate what he wrote...you'll be current in a multi-turbine aircraft and it WILL help you when you approach anyone who you ask for an interview in 135/91 jet ops. That has been my experience, for what it's worth...

It may just be that I have presented my qualifications to pilots who have flown or know about the metro (maybe old timers by now?), but it has helped me. And you'll have that turbine PIC box checked...no one has ever asked me if it was jet or turboprop but when they do ask, just say it was the metro and they won't doubt your abilities.

Look for jet time on the side and get what you can while you can is my advice...everything else will fall into place. You have quite a bit of time in my opinion...so this will help

If I were you; and I have been in your place but at lower time...use what you have and learn to sell yourself, talk yourself up and back it up, and you'll get that jet job. In the end, you'll have some better experience to present to those you hassle for an interview at the very least
