Part 135 to Major Airline Pilot?

When applying for a major job, will they care if I got my 1000 PIC turbine at a part 135 operator? I won't have any 121 experience, but I will have my time in King Air 90s and BeechJets. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It is not uncommon, but some do state a preference for 121 experience. The turbine PIC should be more important than where you got it. Also, some airline want turbine time in airplanes >20,000#
