I am looking for a little career advice. Here are my times:

Total: 3750
CRJ: 3500
PIC CRJ: 292

and I'm not a Captain anymore b/c furloughs downgrades at Mesa. So, I figure to be ready for the next hiring boom, I'd like to have 1,000 PIC Turbine so that I can apply to Southwest, FedEx, all the good one's ya know. I hear that SWA will take even single pilot, single engine PIC Turbine time. So, I'm considering leaving Mesa for, say, a FedEx feeder so that I can fly as PIC of a Caravan or something. The problem is that, unbelievably, this would be a pay cut, fewer benefits, and altogether more difficult. But, if it's a good investment in my future, I'd do it. So, is it worth it?

Also, which one would be a good bet to get PIC Turbine the quickest? Are there any with bases in Oakland or San Francisco? Who's hiring?

Thanks a ton, in advance.
