Eh, I had a whole post typed out but I'm too tired to make it sound coherent... So I'll just go with this.
They're not. There is no question about it. However, if the hiring departments at various regionals (and the FAA) are going to give them the opportunity to get on at this ridiculously low times, then they would be foolish not to take advantage of it. It's more a question of how quickly they gain the experience to operate (and eventually lead) a 121 crew with X number of people in the back. If somebody goes in KNOWING that they are low time and haven't seen it all, and is willing to take advice and learn, then I think, that while certainly a determent, super low time can be overcome. However, if they come in thinking they are gods gift to aviation BECAUSE they got hired at such low time, they and everybody who has to fly with them, are screwed.
