The pilots of 3407 didn't even have a combined 1000 hours experience in the Q400. The above, combined with the new 1000 PIC requirements, should be enough.
I def think there should be a min time requirement no more green on green type of waivers and some form of combined min experience like you said. I've flown green on green it was incredibly dangerous and I can't believe the FAA signed off on it.
