A lot has to be said for working your way up via instructing, air taxi, turboprops. A lof of this guys 'deficiencies' would probably have been addressed, especially the approach to landing and flare. There are some very good cadets out there who start flying heavy metal with 200 hours and very competently as well but I think many of us would benefit from 'learning to walk before running'.

Sadly, paying your way through your very early career is seen as a shortcut to your ultimate dream and instructing/air taxi/turboprops is deemed as unnecessary!
