Default Turboprop to G5

Hi everyone
Is it too farfeched to go from 7000TT and 1500 turbo prop PIC to an SIC position in a G5? If not, then does anyone know any companies that would hire me and that have a reasonable upgrade time?
Thanks

Good to hear. 135 or 121? Also did they start you at +100k? What is the upgrade time like? If it’s not too much to ask, which company?
Thanks

If they start above 150 I would have no problem paying it.

Slap yourself for saying that. If they can afford a GV they can afford to type you.

Don’t start a race to the bottom.
