Was any of the turboprop scheduled service(135)? If yes that would check another box.
The reality of dreaming of AA right now is only about 10% of the hiring is pure civilian outside of the flow or non prior military.
Good luck.

SWA does tend to be more accommodating of varied flight experiences. They still hire turboprop pilots.

The common thing between the people I know who went from prop->major is, that they had/got their ATP. Majors don't like to pay for that (they don't have to).

Your odds are very poor for the top tier as a turbo prop pilot, unless you were military, then it's doesn't matter. Again, SWA is a notable exception.

Observation and talking to people who are familiar with hiring practices. Even got told I needed some jet PIC once, by a well placed buddy at DAL who checked on my app, despite having jet SIC and plenty of it to go with my turbo prop PIC.
