In Europe a guy with 1500+ SEP time have a very slim chance even to get an interview because it means he have a several years of flying in unregulated environment developing uncontrolled habits at something which has zero relevance to airline flying.
Bull****. I fly regurarly with unscreened p2f morons that cannot land the plane and should I have a hearth attack there are very high chances everybody will die. The cadet approach is good only for established airlines with the resources to select and train the right people. Still not having spent an hour alone in the air is not a good thing.. The only few good ones are those who did some kind of flying before getting into the cockpit of an airliner. The rest are seat warmers, paid ( poorly)passengers with attitudes and daddys money selfie expert with zero talent and poor English that would not pass a screening as bus drivers. Something has to be done to stop the pilot milling industry.. The market is not saturad of pilot..but of wandering bombs.
