I'm sure this question would be better answered by someone from Canada - particularly someone who knows it is meant by a 12,500 PIC job.
But in the, so far, absence of such a person I will reiterate what another contributor has said: multi-crew time! Airlines understand experience levels that are similar to their own operation. Go for the job that is a step in the direction of major airline flying, even if it pays less.
Airlines aren't so interested in pilots who can fly the arse of a plane, loop the loop and shoot down Migs with umpunity. They're interested in stable guys who can work in a team and fly as part of a crew. Go for the job that gets close to that and airlines will relate to it much more easily.
Good Luck!
