Go to the Delta, UCal, Atlas, North American, and World boards and post the same thing and see if you get the same response as you are getting here. My bet is you do. Posting and whining on here like my two year old daughter won't help you at all.
Thanks RJtrashPilot I can take your criticism on my lack thereof of the English Language. At least there is always room for improvements. I can work on it, and there is nothing wrong with that. I speak two languages and I guess somewhat three if you count English and I’m glad I’m not limited in the Language area. Instead of calling me a whiner to satisfy your ego, may be you can post some ideas on what I have to do to improve my times and experiences beside my posting skills. Pilots should look out for one another because there is not a lot of us, and we can always run into each other or help one another get a job.

Thanks world, good to see something positive.

Do I have that correct? Or is there some missing information from what you volunteered here...

This is your opportunity to "revise and extend" your remarks....
One has fuzzy math and the other is English profcient, prophiciant, profishant ah what ever.

I guess this thread needed some excitement rather than, "did they call you for a class date yet"..."when did you interview"... or "WHat's the latest scuttlebutt on the contract"...

If you want some constructive criticism, then I'll give you some. Keep slugging it out and don't just expect stuff to be handed to you. I was in regional hell for over 6 years before I got on with Omni. And even then it wasn't easy. I was beating on their door for well over a year before I finally got the call for the interview. Keep at it, but with a positive attitude. No one wants to hear "woe is me" stories.

Not here to slug it out with any with anybody. All I was trying to do, if you read my first post was figure out the reason behind the “No Tprop guys”. I was not being sarcastic behind your criticism remark of my English, and I’m working on it. I guess I got some answers from you guys on the “No Tprop guys”, and we can call it the day.

I'm sitting at home waiting for IOE so I am out the loop, but maybe they have had some negative results with turbo-prop guys recently and are a little gun shy of investing $70,000 on someone when the recent trend has not been favorable to the company. Or they could just be picky about who they want to hire. There is no telling what is going on, but all you can do it just keep trying and building time. Times are going to change in this industry and airlines will not be able to be so picky.

And there is always room to learn other kinds of operations such as omni which is a challenging one i understand it to be . Well hopefully the company mentally toward Tprop drivers changes sometimes, because saying to someone company don't want Tprop anymore is kind of leaning toward being arrogant.
I say again....

Are we to conclude from your earlier post that you and your "friend" have zero turbine (turboprop or jet) PIC time? And, that you/he had just over 300 hours total time when you started flying the Dash 8 in the NE US airspace under Part 121? Plus, you've never flown anything bigger than a 50 seat Dash 8.

This is your opportunity to "revise and extend" your remarks.... The peanut gallery has begun to draw their own conclusions from you failure to answer.

On the positive side, all you can do is keep your PRIA records clean by not having problems in training, and continue to build time, especially the coveted PIC time. Eventually times will change and you will be in a position where you will be what a company is actively looking for, not just knocking on their door asking them to make a significant financial gamble on you. For companies, it is all about risk management, financial and operational.

Fly Safe out there.

By the way yancharlie, if you don't have 1000 PIC, you don't meet the mins, turboprop or not...
