Re: 705 PIC or 737 type rating?

If you meet ATPL requirements, most places have a matrix for upgrade. So if you have the necessary PIC/ToT requirements then upgrades are a combination of time served, and good behaviour(like prison). I'd go on the 737 it has more value than the q400 pic now, unless you want to fly an ATR.
