Significantly harder to get hired at most majors today without jet time. Statistically it's going to take much longer, maybe never. Too many great candidates with glass jet time out there.

Although with the looming retirements they might get to the point where they'll take solid candidates with only prop time. That used to be the normal career progression for civilians, before RJ's. But they'd also hired 13 to get 10 online...
