Default Turboprops respected by UPS?

For the current UPS pilots on the forum...

I’m considering going into the Wheels Up program with Gama Aviation, flying the King Air 350. A buddy of mine in the regionals told me that major airlines wouldn’t respect turboprop experience nearly as much as 121 jet time.

So, a few years down the road, if I were to have 2500 hours total airplane time with 1500 PIC in the King Air, would UPS consider me for an FO position? Is large jet time with a 121 carrier absolutely crucial to getting hired? Thanks for all helpful replies.
