The times may be low, but they weed out all but the very best. The guys I know that made it through are all very capable. Some of the low timers get sent to FlightSafety for Regional Jet Orientation, which includes 10 hours as PF and 10 hours PNF in a full motion ERJ145 sim. So you don't go to training without having a background.
If you want scary - look at places like Piedmont. They'll take you without a commercial multi. Just show up with your temporary Commercial SEL and have a pulse and on you go to Dash-8 training.
Quality over quantity. There are 1000+ hour pilots out there that have no business being where they are. So you can't say that someone with 400 hrs is a menace to the skies.
