I'm not in the same boat, but I wouldn't necessarily view 1000 PIC as a sure fire insurance policy....how 'bout those guys getting hired and going into training ahead of you while you wait on the sidelines building your time? Building seniority helps too...gotta weigh the risks on both sides.

If it's someplace you can see yourself staying with and being happy at for the long haul, then go for it....otherwise stay where you can get PIC until you get the hours for your "dream job". Just my .02. Good luck no matter your decision.

Don't go into it hoping to fail 
You'll no doubt get through it and get an offer. Hopefully, you've already accepted this and are prepared to leave XJET short of 1000 PIC. I'm not applying anywhere for this very reason. Until I get 1000 PIC...someday...far away, I'll suck it up at Colgan.

Do my fellow pilots think its foolish to leave a Regional CA position for a Legacy FO position before reaching 1000 PIC Turbine? If offered an Legacy FO position before hitting the 1000 mark, would you take it? Just curious what others think, even though the decision would be mine to make. Thanks for you thoughts.

Which legacy is hiring with below 1000 PIC? I remember when it was hard to get a regional job with time like that. Good on ya...
I think that these mins are going to decrease as time goes on because there will be less and less guys with the PIC time to fill the classes at the Legacy carriers.
Of course you won't know if it is a place that you will spend your career, none of us know that. You will have to take the risk at some point PIC time or not. I say go for it, because staying at a crappy paying regional is a waste of time. I mean you could be making more dough as a plumber or something..
