To be honest, even if you have more than 1500tt, it is still no man'sland. Every day im surprised how many captains on challenger, falcon etc with >5000h are looking for a job. A friend of mine is captain on falcon 2000 classic. So far unable to get a job. I'm already looking for 2 years to change from outfit. The reason: i work for a small company and got bypassed in the upgrade proces. Apparently it seems to be standard business in smaller companies. 2nd reason: everything about sop's, checkrides it is all too easy or they lack it. If you dont have the correct rating, you stay in noman'sland regardless the amount of hours you have.
So if i were you, forget the pic thing and try to find a FO job in the airline where they take these things for serious. Im not saying that it is easy but you have to increase your marketvalue together with your pilot quality.
Good luck!!!
