I know, just kidding...why is it so taboo for someone with say 300 hours to get on flying a Tprop if the opportunity arises? I'm speaking in terms of low-hour turboprop fo's, because most pilots flying for Skybus, Aloha, etc. probably could cook up an unemployment check that would compete with these fo's pay, yet these low-hour fo's are still frowned upon for getting the job with such low hours. I fullly appreciate instructing and the experience, but I guess what I'm saying is...If it is there, then why not try?....one man's trash is another man's treasure....everyone seems to complain about these jobs, but don't want to give them to people who are willing to take them.

Just my 2 cents.....

Also, not to use the cheap arguement, but think back to when you were 22-23. What if you had a real opportunity. Would you have said, nah, I think it would be wise to build some more time in a 152? Things change, and I understand what more there is to being a professional pilot, but at this point in these people's (for lack of a better word) "career" is seems like a wise choice. If it doesn't happen, then great, build some more time and head back towards it, but if it's here and now, it's worth a shot.
