Those days are gone. Jet operators hire low houred cadets now with the finance for their own type ratings. That's if they hire anybody at all. They have no interest in 1500 hour turboprop pilots from harsh environments, because there is no money in them. I'm not saying it's right, that's just the way it is. I wish I could see it changing because I appear to have shot myself in the foot gaining experience that no one wants.
