It wasn't obvious from your original post that your goal was the majors. And you have plenty of time in a piston single with only 500 TT and minus the multi...? I would virtually guarantee that you have no idea what you can do with a piston single, and are even good enough to take one to the edges of its envelope, maximize its utility, Etc. I would also guarantee there are piston singles that would eat you for lunch, especially with your minimal experience. Slow down partner, you're off to a good start and have plenty of time on your side. A piston single is where you will really learn how to fly! Anyone can learn to fly the jet and push buttons... Not all learn to fly!
