Well I suppose the simple answer is while in the rest of the world you can roll into an A320/330 or 777 at 250-500 hrs, in the US most civilian pilots have work at the regional airlines which have ALPA-sanctioned poverty wages. If Delta/American/United hired pilots at 250-500 hrs then the regional stepping-platform wouldn't exist.
