You may have some airline personel who value jet over prop because they fly jets. And at another airline they may value prop pic over jet pic because lets face it, prop guys have to work a little harder and deal with more obstacles like weather. It is silly to say an advantage on either side.
Bottom line is who you know. As long as you meet the mins it comes down to your letter of recs and who walked your application in.
It is who you know.

And 3 letters of rec is always better than 1
And someone walking in your application is better than not.
And 2 type ratings is better than 1.
Get the point.
There are sooooo many variables in getting hired at a major/legacy carrier. To say it boils down to someone with 1000 T-Prop PIC vs. someone with 1000 Jet Pic is a ridiculous argument. It has nothing to do with "playing second fiddle," but one piece in the entire puzzle.

In my opinion...props will always prevail. Real pilots fly t-props! Us prop guys/gals have better war stories anyway...'nuff said!
