Maybe the training within the companies could make a difference? Im not against the 1500 rule, Im just not so sure it will play the intended role in the safety-picture?
I can tell you oversea training is almost twice as long. Some even touch on basic mathematics and how to read charts. Sim is longer and they provide FTD trainers too. I would say comparing to Regional training to overseas carries is nonequivalent. But like you said they are training 250 hour guys compared to 1000-3000 hours pilots here.
