Honestly not sure how much 4yr does for NK, I didn't have one and was 91K before, but I would still recommend 4yr for everywhere else. Also I think having only 91 time is seen as a risk for training as there is a very big variety in the amount of SOP/CRM/training.
I've actually been really lucky to work with some nice 91 companies that have pretty descent SOP/CRM. I've also done all my type and recurrent training at FSI/SimCom/CAE, but I definitely understand why the airlines would be worried about snagging someone who did their training at Jim Bob's weekend citation type course; I know some who have.
Spirit is the end goal for me. Almost everybody that I've talked with really likes working there, and the compensation and lifestyle is something I could retire at. Maybe I'll look into some 135 PIC opportunities then.
