I wanted to ask you guys about PIC time. Some people at the regionals, including management, are saying that PIC time doesn't matter as much as it used too and that in a few years it won't hardly matter at all. Seeing the credentials of some of you, I'm calling bs on that. I have any opportunity to go get some PIC time at another regional immediately, well the job starts in Jan., if I get it. Should I give up almost 7 years seniority to chase PIC time at another regional if it looks like I should upgrade at my current regional in about 2 years? I'm still 300 away from upgrade and someone in mgmt told me that they are projecting to upgrade 100-150 next year. I think someone with 5 or 6,000 hours and 1,000 or more TPIC is more competitive and more likely to get an interview than someone with 6,000 hours and the only PIC time is from instructing, which is less then 1,000 as well, not turbine. Thoughts?

Don't know Bro. I have 12000TT of which 2500 is TPIC and I'm still waiting for a call.
Good luck whatever you decide.

Whats the view on age? I have a friend who is 24 years old that is about to upgrade at a regional. How long do you all think a major will pick him up. He has 4000+ hours and 2000 private jet pic time. Plus volunteers for Angel flight, with an online 4 year degree.
