One way to look at this is to put a whole bunch of pilots on paper, in a line-up in order of experience (hours) relative to a particular operation. For this case, let's say a flight from A to B in your typical regional jet. Would you put your wife and kids on the plane with a captain who just upgraded at ATP mins and the FO has 600 TT, or would you pick the most experienced people to fly your family? (if you fit in either of those categories, don't take this personally)

I'm sure the post was just trying to match the ridiculousness of comparing Slob time with ResetJet time. Hours aren't the same no matter how you slice-em. It depends on what you do with these hours of experience.

The problem with this statement is that there will be a point of diminishing returns. The learning curve will never continue exponentially upward. While we are all indeed still learning, no matter our experience level, an individual can only be so good, and only retain so much knowledge.

The way it's going, A LOT of guys won't see international until after logging thousands of hours in narrow body/domestic/North American operations.

Very true, but even though BD did his training here in states, if I'm not mistaken we was able to take advantage of the European style SSTR program to get him his first job, then the second flying the 757.
