Question Turboprop PIC turned Major FO?

The Majors (SWA, DL, FDX, UAL) are looking for pilots with PIC: of record not "just" PIC: sole manipulator.

Between the 4 companies on average...there minimums have dropped by a significant amount for example SWA: 1000 (still requiring B737 type for now) and DL 1200 (1000 of turboprop or turbofan).

Is it actually possible for s SE Turboprop driver to make a jump over regional carriers to a major? Certainly it is possible for a ME Turboprop driver (b1900, dash8, atr)

I am curious to see if this might become a reality with this expected shortage...

Thank you for any advice or accurate thoughts ahead of time!
