Having PIC means you have been in charge of an aircraft. Although a lot of airlines don't require it, you pretty much need to have it to get on. There are always exceptions. But, chances are you will need some pilot in command time. I think going forward that it is going to be pretty competitive for the next 6-10 years. There are a lot of guys out there with a lot of PIC that are wanting to get on at a major. That being said, one of the guys that was a copilot for me at a 135 operator just got hired at Airways without any turbine PIC.
