Actually, the saffer is right.
If you go on pprune you will see that he is not mistaken.
It is insane, you have guys that have thousands of hours on turbo props but they can't make it to the next level; as many of the 737/a320 operators out there prefer to hire integrated (think part 141) graduates from a handful of schools with about 250 hours TT. So egg320 makes a very valid point.
