Very different in Europe than America. Have trained several 200 hour cadets fresh from there type rating and they are excellent, much easier to train and almost always do much better compared to someone who has flown turbo props, high hour instructor etc. Maybe the FAA should make it difficult for people to gain comm licences, or start a type of qualification for pilots who are aimming to be airline pilots ( Commercial licence on steroids). Also why don't airlines make new joins do a full typerating? Not a SIC rating.
Just out of intrest, why do US airlines allow crew to live all over the place?? Long haul would be an issue but if your a shorthaul pilot why not make crew live within 60 minutes of there base?
It seems that maybe the FAA should look at other countries procedures with regards to low hour FOs.
