Too many jet guys out there that sadly make the prop guys a very small percentage . And all those people who say oh yeah but my buddy got hired with only BE1900 time etc . It's a very very small percentage within the last 10 years or since the creation of the RJ.
Correct, but not for the reasons some would assume. More RJ PIC guys get called because as you said, more physically exist, more of them out there. However a guy who is PIC on an ATR / Brasilia / 1900 / etc is still in a leadership position (especially if 121 PAX ops aka Eagle) responsible for the safety of the flight.
Just my two cents
