Why do you consider the UPT PIC time higher quality time than MWS PIC?

I don't. But, as a PIC of a UPT jet, you are an instructor. In a MWS (C-17, F-15, etc), you may not be an instructor. Every airline I applied too considered instructor PIC more favorable than regular PIC time. For the guys who have a FAIP job, they have more IP time and PIC than their non-FAIP buddies.
I'm just saying, if you want an edge in the civilian world, being a FAIP is a good deal.
