I think that's one reason i'd like to fly 135 before I jump right to the regionals, if that's where I decide to go. Right now im doing Aerial Surveying, I was instructing and flying traffic watch before that. Just trying to see and try a little bit of everything while i'm young.
Plus that multi time will be a lot nicer than dropping a few grand to get to 100 ME TT.

Some captains at Air Cargo Cariers with Shorts 330 and 360 pic time have gone to FedEx and ATI. Some used good connections to get interviews though.
It was nice to see posts indicating part 135 turboprop time can get you some good jobs.

Southwest fires pilots for takeoff — of their uniforms
By Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY
Southwest Airlines has fired two pilots for allegedly turning their cockpit into a clothing-optional playpen.
The pilot and co-pilot — both men — were dismissed for allegedly taking off all or most of their clothes in the cockpit of their aircraft.

Seven years in this business is too old for accurate hiring information today.
We hopefully will have a better information in the next year or so.
As far as I know we haven't hired any AMF pilots since early the last decade.

They like our real-world IFR scheduled line flying training and experience.
BTW, thanks to John for reviving a 7 year old thread!

Would you disagree then, that this industry as changed, and the relevant gap between AMF and the majors has not increased in size?
