Most Chief Pilots that I know do not look favourably upon a SSTR.
Agreed, but it depends also on the type of airline. In my place, a few SSTR'ed with no hours on type were employed recently. The experience won't be repeated.
Unfortunately there are other airlines who place no value on experience or much else beyond wallet size, those that only want somebody, anybody in the RHS (and LHS) as cheaply as possible.
The airline driving the market (Ryanair) espouses this theory so the ramifications for the overall market are huge.
We are looking at a whole new way of thinking here, namely that Ryanair and some other airlines now actively discourage experience (as it costs more than lack of). The results in terms of safety are there for those that care to look: all the incidents and near accidents.
They are also there in terms of T&C's, which have shown the obvious trend once experience stops being valued: rapidly downwards.
