who the hell told you that you didn't need turbine PIC to get on with a major. that's all I've ever heard of since the early 90's before I ever got on with a regional. the only people that I saw go to a major without the 1000 turbine PIC were interns.
Turbine PIC has been a basic requirement since the early 80's if not earlier. skyhigh is just appeasing himself and making excuses. I began pursuing this career in 1983 and I was told then that the only way for a civilian to get hired at a major was to have, not only turbine PIC, but that PIC would most likely need to be turboJET PIC.
I will offer this, turbine PIC is the new JET time.
College classmates from the early 80's that managed to get hired at a major before the 80's ended either went corporate and got some jet time, or went to a commuter and logged years as PIC before being able to gain a majors attention.
Again, it appears the skyhigh is just appeasing himself.
