On demand cargo will be your fastest way to a jet. I could have started flying in the right seat of our lears after only spending about 3 months in the right seat of our turboprops. I however look at things alittle differently, I like to fly low and look at the ground, I enjoy the ride. So I opted to upgrade to captain in our twin pistons when I got to 1,200hrs and now am captain in the turbo props. I figure I have probably about another 40 years of flying ahead of me, so I'll be flying a jet eventually, I'm not worried about jumping right in one now.
BTW Here's an example of a day enjoying the scenery. Yesterday I picked up in New Hampshire and flew down most of the east coast on V139 down at 6,000ft. It was VFR and the view was GREAT! Days like that are when I remember why I started flying to begin with. Jets are point A to B airplanes, and sometimes it's not about the destination, but the journey.
