He's had to turn away pilots with 1500 hours because of the bad piloting habits that have developed since leaving flight school.
Have a look here.

Around 55:00 Bryan Bedford mentions that he's "likely on the list" of qualified pilots who are unwilling to fly for the salaries listed...is he the same Bryan Bedford from Carmel, Indiana with a 3rd class medical and private pilot certificate? If so, I'm trying to figure out how he's in the group of qualified pilots they tallied which listed requirements of having an ATP and a 1st class medical.
