If you haven't asked this question then you need to ask and answer it before you can make a decision.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Or to be more touchy feely about it, where do you see yourself in 5 years, 10 years and 20 years?

If you want to be at a major airline "soon" then I think you do need to take a look at getting PIC turbine sooner. If it's "eventually" then AE may be a way to get there.

Fractionals - as pointed out, most are OK with SIC turbine.

Parachute jumping - go for it.

FedEx - you should have joined the military :-)

Until you know what you want you can't answer the question. Sure, turbine PIC is the holy grail, but if you don't need the holy grail to get where you're going then why bother?

Hope that helps.
