SW calls for 1000 turbine PIC, but does Caravan or King Air time count?

Don't know about SW but, sitting in the right seat of an RJ without much prior experience in my view means very little. Some of the best pilots I have flown with have single pilot turbo prop background. PIC over SIC, multi over single.
I was asked by a Beech 18 operator a few years ago if I knew any Beech pilots , I thought about it a second and said yes but they where all flying 757,767 and 747's.
As to the comment made on freight pilots or SW busting MINs to get in, never seen anyone do it in thirty years of freight flying and wouldn't fly with them if I had. We do get very good at flying tight approaches and making it legally and safely on the ground. Which leads to , never violate the regs to "help" an employer it may end your career and possibly your life.
Good luck
