What would you do?
TPIC vs. TSIC... however, there is that turboprop stigma attached. Some argue that turbroprop time is inferior to jet time (not me however), but it's still TPIC regardless. I think Silver is going to grow, I'd take the PIC job.
Also, I have quite a few friends with turboprop only PIC time that went to Delta, SWA, etc. I know there are a couple airlines, (B6) that like jet/FMS/glass time, but I think with the impending movement it won't matter. Hell, I think TPIC won't matter in a few years. We'll be seeing a lot more regional FO's to straight to mainline FO.
Clear as mud?
