Turbo prop PIC time now or CRJ PIC time in 3 years
Should I stay and get the quick B1900 upgrade, or make a lateral move to a CRJ and upgrade in 3 years? I know PIC time is extreamly important, but does it really matter if its in a T-prop versus a jet?

Hmm you can't go straight to Captain position for the CRJ? I think pic time is pic time but it would be better if you had jet experience. It might be difficult to get a job with just tprop pic, think of the thousands of guys with jetpic time waiting in line for the majors.

Yes, and half or more don't even apply anywhere because they are either too picky or lazy as all hell. Then they all ***** about it when someone else gets a job with a little less time than them. Turbine PIC is Turbine PIC. Once you hit 4000 TT and 1200-1500 PIC turbine, it's about who you know and who's a$$ you kiss....not jet vs. prop.
