What it comes down to is logging a few hours of PIC isn't going to change anything.

You're either going to get that dream job with 300 hours TPIC or 3000 hours of it. Nobody is sitting around waiting to 1000 and then getting called by a major. You're either like most people who have a job supplying them with all the turbine PIC they could ever need and just waiting for the major to call.... or you are one of the few who has some short of amazing item on your resume or connection at the company that you'll get called no matter how little TPIC you have.

Log it the legit way and you'll get a job when you get it.
