You need 1000 PIC Turbine time to be competitive at CAL. If your goal is to work for CAL, go to where you can get your time the fastest. If where you are at is not getting you closer to where you want to be, you probably shouldn't stay there. Ask your pilot friend to talk to his CP and ask specifically what you need to be called for an interview. Once you know for sure what you need - go get it. Good Luck!
