that's because when I few as a captain on the ATR at ASA I found that there was no correlation between TT and ability.. Sure experience was an issue, and the low time FO wasn't capable of commanding an aircraft yet, but what I found to be the case was that the innate ability of an individual had more to do with whether he was a good pilot or not, more so than his hours.
I my last job I flew with an FO in the Citation X who had 11,000TT, most of it in flight instruction, and some in King Air, and some in Citation 500's.. now he was an FO in the worlds faster biz jet, and one heck of a monster to handle in x-winds.. He was borderline unsafe. His positional awareness was like a 300 instrument pilot, and his stick and rudder were poor at best..
In the end, you're either a good pilot or your not.. the number of hours only adds to your experience as either a good pilot, or not.
