I've never heard of any problems and it's been going on for over 10 years. And at least Korean Air has no problems with it since the folks that come over from their program are guaranteed an interview once they get 1000 total time.
That said, there are other threads where this has been argued out right and left. The point I was making was that other than the E120, we don't have any paid FO positions, which is what I think the gentleman's question was.
