..also, don't forget the old adage: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is....
Alot of people forget that you can fly 1,000 hours or 1 hour a thousand times. There is no rocket science to the job, no secret mystery. Now, however, it is VERY easy to get in over your head. Even though I came up quickly, I had time in twin recips, and turboprops, flying around the system, just a small portion of my TT was doing steep turns, slow flight (add right rudder!!) and Vmc Demos. I can tell you that I learned more from one flight filed IFR than a week of instruction.
Looking back, I am very glad I did not get hired into a jet. I went to a 4-year college that had a old school jet sim. We flew the sim with 250 HR TT. I can tell you, it handed me my ass everyweek. The T-prop was a great step up for me. I remember my first flight in a t-prop. It was about a 45 minute trip, and when we landed, I was just leveling off in cruise. That was at 220 KTAS, not quite double of the PA34. Now, throw me into a jet that cruises at 440 KTAS and going out to the NE at a winter ground speed of over 500 KTS. That was roughly double of the T-Prop speed. Here sir, is your ass handed to you on a silver platter....
To me, it's not a question of TT. It is a question of real experience. The rest of your flying career has been a stepping up process. Why take a huge leap? I'm not saying go pound 135 in a 208 for years, but get enough time to be comfortable at the next speed level for a bit, and work on your airmanship.
Also, the glass today tricks people. I could get my cat to pass a type ride. It is nothing more than a series of organizational events. When one goes online and the GPS/FMS quits, where are you? I used to have F/O's scoff at me when I had a Hi or Lo chart out flying in parts of the country I didn't know. One even asked why I'd look at that when I had an FMS. My reply was another question: "Where could you go from here if it filled up with smoke right now and I'm knocked out?"
Common pitfalls of people who had great training, and a bit of confidence, but not enough experience to not know what they don't know....
Good luck on your career. Make it an enjoyable experience....
