I assume you went the modular route which leaves you few options ie low fare airlines, regional airlines or instructing. (All the nice companies want 1500tt with jet or integrated)
No amount of regurgitation of this myth will turn it into fact.
Whereas you might have gone to an airline which you don't consider to be 'nice', not very far away from you there could very well be another airline which is considered to be much 'nicer' (ie uniform paid, type rating paid, car park paid, sim paid, pension and private medical paid, etc...). They recently recruited older, modular pilots straight out of training, with low hours and no jet time straight on to their jet fleet, which makes a mockery of your statement above however much you might wish it to be true.
