While some things are unforgivable (scabs) there are other things that are just beyond anyones control. Getting bought, absorbed, merged and the negative sides of these things stick with pilots forever, they have to find someone to blame.
The same thing with a pilot who has an easier time getting into the airlines as they did. It goes the same for the guys who got on at 1000TT and 100ME, there were guys that needed 3000TT and 250ME...and it goes on and on.
The easy fix is to just not tell anyone you're low time unless they ask.

..just my .02
I get what you are saying... and I agree. What I meant was not when will that 300hr guy gain respect, but what is the line where a new guy is not looked down on, and I know it is different for everyone that's why I want everyones opinion.
Example:
Hombre A = 300hr/3ME
Hombre B = 400hr/50ME
Hombre C = 500hr/100ME
Hombre D = 625hr/215ME
Etcetera...
There has to be a point where you would not consider him a "wonder kid" and just another pilot?
