As soon as you have the time.
I know of two training captains personally that went from the Chieftain, to the 99 when they hit 1200 hours and the Metro when they hit 1250 hours.
The advantage is that you get on the seniority list quicker than waiting around to have 1,200 hours. It does suck, though, in that you don't fly a ton. I think I flew 200 hours in 10 months as a training captain in the Chieftain.
