Point is everyone hires/has hired pilots with low time or as Mr. Mozekian would say "inexperienced pilots".
You seem to keep missing the link between lesser experienced pilots being hired and a Training Program designed for higher experienced pilots.
Yes, the legacies have a different training program that can compensate for lower time. AQP is a very long and metered process with multiple Validation phases. You only have to focus on one Phase at a time over a 3-4 month period. Spirit is a fire hose that requires you to constantly study material from multiple phases all at once in a 6 week footprint.
