Potential problem...I doubt any major will be hiring pilots without turbine time in any conceivable future. This means that you would have to either quit your FA job to go fly for a regional, or find a side job (maybe corporate) where you could build turbine time and stay employed as an FA.
Your overall career prospects would be better by just following the traditional pilot path and keeping all options open rather than limiting yourself that way.

There's ways around.
