NWA requires "0" PIC Turbine, they do however require 1000 hrs of PIC. I believe UAL only requires 1000 hrs of multi PIC, one again, no turbine requirement. CAL will accept 500 hrs of PIC and 500 hrs of SIC 121 turbine. AirTran only requires 500 hrs of PIC turbine and Delta requires NO PIC Turbine. The only ones that I know of that require 1000 hrs of PIC Turbine are Southwest, FedEx, and UPS.
Seeing how old this post is I assume you decided to stay at AWAC, which in my opinion would be the correct choice. You could get to NWA quicker from the left seat at AWAC. I know an applicant that had only 250 hours of PIC turbine when he got the interview call from NWA. He also got the job.
