This will be my first paid job outside of CFIing.
Lack of turbine PIC doesn't seem to matter for those who have bailed out for the LCCs and Alaska. Everyone I know who bailed out for legacies or Southwest had PIC turbine, but I don't know if that is a sticking point anymore or not. Good luck whatever you decide.
