That's a separate issue, it should not be addressed by firing all pilots who have over 2000 hours.
Actually that first 1500 hours in GA usually affords one the opportunity get scared poop-less a few times. That sort of early experience helps you to avoid complacency for the rest of your life. But you're unlikely to learn those lessons (or acquire command skills) in the right seat of an airliner.
