From where I sit, I am impressed with quality of F/O's that my company train and put online. But what has flying a jet got to do with it? These guys (and I'd suggest the majority of all pilots) will find a jet easier to fly than a turbo prop - probably because they are. The main difference appears to the be the miserable old git in the RHS who recons that because he had to fly a turboprop, everyone else should. In addition, because they guy is new, he is now going to have do some work because the experienced F/O's he normally flew with used to do it all.
