Just my .00000002 cents
I think the point was that if gets his act together and has a PERFECT track record with 135 and/or 91 type rides, then after thousands of hours and a number of checkrides on large, complex, turbine equipment his entry-level history might be overshadowed. But there are still those who think that what you did at age 19 is the true reflection of your soul or whatever, so he might still encounter resistance in some quarters.
