I've seen it first hand where pilots with thousands upon thousands of PIC in a turboprop (but no jet time) were seen as a bigger unknown than pilots with Jet SIC and no turbine PIC. I don't completely agree with that, in fact I don't at all, but it happens. |

Some apps I've filled out ask if you have FMS experience. I have yet to see one that asks if you have DUAL FMS experience. |
imho it would appear that the trend is that jet time is becoming more favored, over turbo-prop time, in general. Turbo-prop time may still be accepted, however, there may be specific criteria to meet. For example (albeit Qatar Airways is an international carrier):
Pilots & Flight Deck Crew | Qatar Airways US First officers Minimum of 1,000 hours in one of the following categories: • Multicrew, multiengine jet aircraft • Command of turbo-prop above 20,000 kg MTOW • High performance military jets • Valid ICAO ATPL or frozen ATPL • Valid instrument rating • Valid Class 1 medical • Minimum level 4 ICAO English proficiency Second officers - Fast track • Minimum of 1,500 hours in a modern multipilot turbo-prop greater than 12,000 kg MTOW • Valid ICAO ATPL or frozen ATPL • Valid Class 1 medical • Minimum level 4 ICAO English proficiency |

I had no real glass (EADI and EHSI), and no FMS when I started in the 757/767. |

Hmmmm, none of our Q400 drivers that have moved onto bigger and better places didnt have problems... Granted we are possible the only prop with full glass and dual FMS.

Dont answer the OP's question, scorn him for being "part of the problem." Man, these forums are indeed full of information:rolleyes: |
I've only seen jet time favored for international airlines just as posted above regarding Qatar.
