Great advice to get the Turbine PIC time. Stay put until you get it. Then apply at one of the "BIG" cargo carriers (FEDEX, UPS) QOL is awesome compared to any AMR company or any other carrier (read week on week off), one or 2 legs out to a 12-18 hour layover, weekends off mostly. If on reserve, you will get a trip ever other day unless you trade into one.

The key is the PIC turbine. You need 1000 PIC MEL Turbine time to qualifiy. Why do you think UPS and FedEx have raised the mins to this. It is because the "legacy" pilots have figured out that flying boxes is not that bad and dare I say............good.
