What he said.
Jet time is becoming superior to turboprop time. A regional is the best way to do this at the moment. Bid for schedules with lots of hours.
Skywest is currently expanding and hiring and has relatively quick upgrades for those who are qualified. But do your research. Things can change. I am still on the right seat of an RJ because I probably did not do enough research at various parts of my career and now have almost 4000 hours M/E turbine. And not a single M/E turbine hour of PIC.
Pick your airline carefully.
