I think there are a lot of pilots in similar situations. Small turboprop PIC trying to avoid the regionals. Is it realistic to go to a major with only turboprop time? What if it was transport category turboprop PIC? I get the feeling that turbine PIC is everything, but a pilot is nothing without jet time, even if it's only SIC.

Is jet time just a box that needs to be checked, or is it something to get another 1000-2000 and 1000 PIC? I wonder if the 1000 TPIC really means 1000 jet PIC if you read between the lines.
