If the legacy/major carriers are the end goal, then sure, 1000+ Caravan PIC is nothing more than a resume filler to their hiring boards. But if staying 135 and flying PC-12s is a goal, then this would be an ideal gig. If being home every day is important, then this is an ideal gig. Heck, even retired airline pilots looking for a little extra $ and want to keep flying (and not commute to a crashpad), this is an ideal gig. So yes, for those aspiring for the legacy/major carriers, it's probably best to go the regional airline route. To each their own.
