Snap.
Upgrade time does matter to those who want to go to a place that requires turbine PIC. Wanna know what the projected upgrade for someone with my DOH is at Xjet? 10 years! Changes your perspective a little bit when you look at it like that. So tell me, people: If this place goes t*ts up in a year or shows no hope of movement, and you have very good connections at the place you want to end up, and all that's holding you back is 1000TPIC, you wouldn't entertain the thought of a lateral move to a place where you could get that required time in less than 10 years?!
