Had a conversation with a DOO of a 91/135 jet charter company once. He said the following:

"I can hire a guy with 1000 multi-PIC piston...I can't do a THING with a guy with 1000 hours of single-engine turbine time."

Maybe start by posing the following question: "How many guys here moved from the PC-12 into a jet or multi-turboprop?" Sure, a lot of guys might say "I did!" but they were sitting right there in new-hire ground school with guys that had ZERO turbine time and came out of piston twins.

IMHO, flying a PC-12 isn't about building useful, loggable time to get you someplace else. It's about a great schedule and a good QOL at that particular operator. Period.
