Not exactly....airlines prefer turbine PIC time of this nature, in order of desirability (my estimate):

Military, multi-engine, turbojet, heavy, glass, 121, 135, turboprop.

Some airlines (notably SWA) are just fine with 121 turboprop time.

Also note that while airlines allow single-engine TPIC, that is only because some fighters are single engine...caravan time is NOT competitive for major airlines.
