King Air guys get connected with other part 135 operators flying Lears, Falcons, Gulfstreams, Challengers etc, who in turn will most certainly be entertained by the likes of Delta.

Most people do go the regional route which is fine, but its not the only way. Turbine PIC is turbine PIC. You can wait 5 years to get it at a regional, or you can get hired at a 135 gig before you even have your ATP and get it right away.

Not trying to re-write the rule book here. I think the regionals suck and they take advantage of the general mentality that every pilot must do their time with them before they go on to bigger and better things.
