That depends on the attitude of the company. If you want a pilot; perhaps. If you want another trained monkey clone then perhaps not. They need to be deprogrammed and remoulded then re-programmed. Not so long ago experienced F/O's were not hired by some airlines as it was deemed to difficult, troublesome, tedious, risky and a loss of training profit. DEC's have exactly the same illnesses, but market forces dictate otherwise. Now the boot has changed foot, or joined its brother to make a pair on both feet.
Think of the argument about requiring >1500hrs in RHS of jets. Here were companies actively pursuing the opposite; i.e. rejecting experienced type rated pilots; thus demonstrating that the argument is not so simple.
