This was my post down in the Pilot Lounge and the thread is "Leaving the Career".

If that is the case, and it seems as though that's what's going to occur for & over the next 3-5 years.....just thinking out loud.....why not go to a Gulfstream or some other PFT and get the turbo-prop experience that is so highly sought after to better position myself when the dust/debris clears?

Given the current economic situation, is this a viable option for some now? The comment was made earlier that regionals aren't going to be lowering their minimums to CPL/ME any time soon and with so many guys that are furloughed people like me who are starting out and as old as I am, (46yrs old), may have a hard road to hoe!!!
