Any help is appreciated!

Schone, I think you are the one taking it the wrong way. Every post that you think is so negative is just REALITY. I think the majority of everyone that wants to fly for a living aspires to fly shiney new jets. The reality is you only have 1000 TT and 175 ME. Insurance is what really runs this industry and with that time you might find a right seat position, MAYBE, outside the regionals. The other problem is the pay when you say "pay makes no diff as long as it's decent and not slavery. If you can find a right seat jet job anywhere, Regionals or elsewhere, the pay will be very low. The quickest way in my opinion to get into the shiney new jets is to take a turbo prop job because you will be able to move to the left seat faster gaining turbine PIC experience. For jet jobs they are looking at several things but one important one is turbine PIC.
