As bad as hiring is right now, I can't see that as a reason to justify PFT jet programs. It's my opinion that the money and time required to find and get into a program would be better served in building time through traffic watch, et al, followed by getting on with a 135 outfit. People used to do that, and it worked out pretty well for them. Nowadays, I think many pilots either forget or just want to skip over working for a 135 carrier. Whether it's charter or cargo, the time is good, it's usually in a turbine aircraft, all-weather flying. Most just don't want to get to 1200 hours anymore.
