The emphasis of having twin time is for the experience of flying engine out with asymetric power. This can be challenging in aircraft with engines mounted on the wing. I would imagine the F-15 performs very similar to an inline fighter (F-16) with one engine out. The fighter guys around here may be able to give a better answer.
Most airlines give full credit for F-16 time, they will specify on their web site that single-engine fighter is acceptable in lieu of turbine-multi.
For FAA purposes, you will need to upgrade your Commercial Single to a Multi at a civilian flight school. Shouldn't take more than a week.
But pay attention to the ME theory, cuz the airline interview will probably cover that hard for an F-16 guy...
