The real question is, how competitive are you as a prospect, if you are the only one in the room without 1000 turbine PIC?

Oh, and of the hundreds of pilots I've known who got hired, only one had little to no turbine PIC, only her solo time in a T37 and T38. She was hired at American in 1986 with a total time of 750, no left seat time in anything, except a Cessna while in training. There were many guys in my Guard unit who had many thousands of hours PIC in a KC135 who were not hired, but she was a chick and it was 1986 so...
I haven't flown with a chick since 2000, or something like that. I say hire more, I am tired of smelly guys.
