How much training should an airline pilot get?


My favorite part:

"Historical data suggest that most accidents are caused by captains with extensive experience. A 1994 safety study by the NTSB found that in accidents between 1978 and 1990 caused by the crew, more than 80% occurred when the captain was at the controls."

Does anyone know when the 1500 hour minimum is supposed to take effect?
