Take it from a 4 year guy who never got to see the left seat... leaving the stable paycheck for a crack at some turbine PIC time actually works out good. There are plenty of good 135 operators out there who are hiring captains off the street. Sure, the QOL is going to blow vs what you're probably bidding now, but turbine PIC is turbine PIC!
I've been fortunate enough to finally hit that 1000 turbine PIC mark and have been able to meet people and make contacts for some major 121 jobs. Things are looking up!
Two pretty good companies I can suggest right off the bat are Air Cargo Carriers out of MKE (www.aircar.com Shorts and Falcon 10s I think) and Phoenix Air (Gulfstream I's, II's and Lears). Heck, even Ameriflight will hires right into their -99's and Metros.
Just some suggestions. Good luck, but whatever you do stop believing the carrot they're dangling in front of you will ever be reachable unless you're willing to wait years and years.
