I think 1500 hours should be the absolute minimum.
This is a good place to start at minimum. ATP should be the requirement. You learn a lot between 250 and 1500 hours. Droning around in a school C172 or in a Diamondstar for 250 hours with an instructor does not qualify you to fly a Part 121 jet at 530 knots with 76 passengers on board.
