Still, many people told me it's gonna be a bad decision and waste time cos I cannot build turbine time.
Beside Spirit, any major/ULLC or Fractionals(netjets, flexjet) would care turbine time?

NetJets and Flexjet will hire you. Both have upgrades to PIC in less than 2 years. FlyExclusive is another fractional based in Kinston, NC that is hiring with quick upgrades. All of them offer home basing unless you're really, really, out in the boondocks.

That is why I am slightly reluctant to apply Cape Air. Because I do not want to waste time at Cape Air if nobody values that experience. At the same time, I do not want to wait and sit until regionals start to hire me.

The only reason NetJets upgrades are only listed as 2 years, is because the lull in hiring post Covid. Hired today; it will probably take longer. But no real idea what that number is.

BE1900
1,800 TT, 1000 PIC, 500 hours XC (defined at point to point), 250 multi, 100 turbine, 100 hours instrument (50 must be in aircraft), 100 hours night
Beech 99
1,200 TT, 500 PIC, 500 hours XC (defined at point to point), 50 multi, 75 hours instrument (50 must be in aircraft), 100 hours night
anything other than beech99 you need turbine time and more than 1500 flight hours.
