A lot of majors are drifting away from the turbine PIC requirement and going to a turbojet > 20,000#GW requirement (not necessarily PIC). They'd rather have a glass jet guy since he's easier to train than a turboprop guy, PIC time notwithstanding. Check out JetBlue, Frontier, Continental. SWA is still going for any turbine PIC.
