Is PIC on this aircraft looked at in a positive way by the larger carriers?(Glass versus Steam etc). If you already have about 2000 multi and some mpic in there on pistons.. if you have a chance at direct entry cap on one of these do you take it? Or wait for left seat on the multi-turbine you are on.....knowing it may be years....
cheers..
the PC-12 or not the PC-12

Bottom line is you need everything.
Companies like Jazz and WJ want 1000 PIC (not sure if it matters wether it is single or multi) and 500 Multi. Naturally, MPIC is better the SEPIC, but PIC is better than FO time, and turbine is better than piston etc.
PC-12 is a great airplane and it is good time, PIC, turbine, EFIS, high altitude, etc. cyyz has a good point with the possbility more $$$$. If you are lacking the PIC and the turbine time, it is a no brainer. Especially if you already have a healthy amount of multi time.
However I will remind you because I am sure a lot of people in this forum will do the same. IT IS A SINGLE ENGINE AIRPLANE which means there are risks.
For the record I flew one for many years and I never had a problem (knock on wood).
Good luck

I know a couple guys who just got on at Jazz, they had over a thousand hours on the PC-12 as PIC, and some multi time aswell, but not as much multi as they had PIC on the PC-12. Jazz took them with all that PC12 time so it can't hinder you at all. I think as long as you have a bit of both PIC and Multi experience, you're in good stead with Jazz.
