supply and demand, TPIC is TPIC time, however if they are flooded with JET PIC guys they will want Heavier JET PIC etc.........
I would rather have 200HRS of SAAB PIC then 3,000hrs of JET SIC, but thats just me

Well, I'd add in the past when everyone was hiring sure... Now that most airlines are furloughing I'm not sure if turboprop means as much as jet but who knows... and I was all turboprop guy before think I'm biased against turbine PIC time... Supply & demand - lot's of jet pic supply right now....

Agreed ... with the exception of Emirates, and maybe one or two other carriers out there overseas ... PIC is PIC, prop or not

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.
