Jet time?
Load of rubbish that companies get excited about "jet time". A jet is a type of power plant, not an aircraft in spite of top gun thinking. Some get excited about wide body time.
A turbo fan is easier to operate than a turbo prop this day and age. Yes the older turbo jet engine had to be managed with a little more planning with regards to spool up etc. Yes the speeds are a little higher but relative. Think "time to station", as a priority. Speed is just a number.
To me, who has operated light, medium and heavy turbo jet powered aircraft, a turbo prop experienced person has done the apprenticeship and very employable, over a sausage factory graduate any day of the week. Air experience is what it is all about in my view. You can't gain experience sitting in a class room.
As for swept wing, not a problem.
You can teach a monkey to ride a bike but you may have trouble getting it to read road signs.
