What’s your gripe? You a CFI who can’t buy hours and missing out on seniority?

It is not a “1500 hour rule”. It has been a requirement for decades that an ATP have 1500 hours. It was made a requirement that the SIC have an ATP certificate (previously did not) and as they did so, they relaxed the standard for ATP by giving allowing fewer hours under certain conditions.
As to the international comparisons. They have NOT been accident free over this time frame. They just didn’t have their accidents in this country.

This one was real close to us, and they probably flew through our airspace minutes before...

The way I look at is we develop a cadre of professional airline PIC's, and personal responsibility is at the heart of our pilot culture. Many other places hire button pushers, not all of which can rise to the occasion on the rare occasions when it's necessary. They do save a lot of money though.
The ATP requirement simply gives our pilots a better opportunity to learn command and responsibility in the air.
