There's turboprop time and there's turboprop time ... there's a world of difference between proper airline ops in something like a brand new ATR72 (basically a mini airbus), or doing night freight in a thrashed old bandeirante, or throwing meat bombs out of a caravan, or whatever, it's all turboprop time. Most employers would look at the type of flying ( and the SOP / CRM environment you operated in ) as important as the actual type.

And the jet vs turboprop debate is a load of crap as well ... what's better on a CV, a C130 or a Citation? A Dash-8-Q400 or a Embraer 145? Yes we all know that modern airbus & Boeing types are top of the tree, but nothing is cut and dried below that.
