I agree with BW.
Yet I have heard people talking about the upside of being a lowtimer (no sales people of flight training schools by the way ). What they say has got a point: Depending on how the airline's current cockpit work force is composed(pilots' age, experience on Type, etc) they tend to hire lowtimers OR experienced pilots. It's a strategy.

If an airline's current cockpit staff tends to be a bit older in average and more experienced*: it might be more interesting for them to hire more lowtime guys to have a natural flow of right to left en to secure continuation. And of course same thing vice versa.

* this of course is split up per aircraft type etc.
