Turboprop time alone, including PIC, will likely not get you to a top-tier major (possible exception for SWA). They simply have too many applicants with glass/jet time, and not all prop-drivers can do jet speed.
But multiple type ratings definitely break you out of the pack of one-trick RJ ponies, and if you have jet experience, prop time shows another aspect of your train-ability.
If you were to fly turboprops, and then get your own 737 type, would that give yo a good chance to fly for SWA?
