1500 hours won't fix everybody, but it will make a lot of pilots more cognizant of their own mortality.
We hired pilots with 1500 hours that we turned down at 500, but now with an extra 1000 hours of reinforcing bad habits. The training footprint and performance records support that.
I believe in higher mins, the challenge is to attract quality, motivated pilots in the industry, and that will mean some kind of affordable pathway.
