I was hired about three years ago. All my pic time was multi prop. I had about a year of jets as an SIC. My interview prep said now a days jet time is better because it’s so common. So yeah, I think they look at the quality of the time. 1000 TPIC in a 135 caravan v. 121 jet - what would you do? However, if you were already there getting TPIC time, even in a single engine prop id finish out the 1000 before running off to fly a jet in the right seat, because at least you'll have the box checked. And that would be better for you overall than the jet time in the right seat. Obviously, just a slightly educated guess. Props didn’t keep me from being hired.

Just a data point…

friend was a successful entrepreneur and flew his personal sub-12.5k multi turboprop pic for 2000 hours.

sells his company, goes to fly a crj right before covid. Just got hired a spirit with about 1000 121 sic

turbine pic never hurts

It seems to be a thing that you can get by with prop TPIC as long as you have glass jet SIC experience (preferably 121)... that shows you can command a complicated airplane and also that you can be trained and function at jet speeds in a crew environment.

Takeaway here is that if you're a civilian and your only experience is turbo-props you might want to consider how to get some (121) jet time... likely quicker to go do that than waiting for a call without it (which might never come).

MULTIENGINE turboprop PIC makes you more competitive, although not as competitive as 121 jet time. 208 PIC time and multiengine piston PIC are pretty much a wash, at least in my experience.

Been flying SA227 PIC single pilot for the past year with no autopilot. ILS approach down to mins is always interesting and rewarding.

In my case all my TPIC is 121 76 seater turboprop. But the consensus seems I should take the transition to the 175

The “Q” stands for quiet.

yeah, quite ****ing loud lol

Also, stands for ANVS “Q”-uite often deferred.

1. Jet time is good
2. Jet PIC is good
3. Type ratings are good
4. Recent training events are good

Unless you'd take an unacceptable QOL hit due to reserve/seniority, yeah transitioning is going to be a net positive on multiple accounts.
