Obtaining PIC prop turbine before regionals
I have about 1500 hours total time and only about 57 multi with only 10 of that pic multi. I heard the majors like seeing 1000 turbine pic. Would it be wise to obtain 1000 pic turbine prop before going to a 121 regional and getting the jet time to keep the resume competitive for the majors considering i could be sitting right seat in the regionals for a few years?

PIC turbine, while not required at most places anymore, is still highly valuable.
That said, it can take quite a whole to build the 1000 TPIC in many non-airline gigs. Consider the time cost and evaluate from there.

Hey guys thanks! the only reason I'm asking is because i have the minimums to go to a 121 carrier, but i heard great lakes is hiring and its a fast upgrade there, would it be worth going there just to get pic turbine till i get a 1000 and then move on to a 121 carrier afterwards? It would be an extra step, going from one regional to another and extra time, but would it be worth it?

I went to GLA and it "worked" for me, was able to build my time and get out relatively quickly. Just make sure you consider what you will do if it's tougher than you thought or the upgrade is longer than planned.
