How much training for a new type

Hello Peeps!

Just wanted to get people's opinions on this. How much training (dual flying time) is necessary for someone to fly a new type of aircraft solo? Most flight schools want hirers to do an hour or so when starting on a new type. But what about more experienced pilots, e.g. commercial pilots. I've heard lots of people say "It's a light single, just read the PoH and off you go!" Is this a cavalier attitude or is it acceptable?

Thanks in advance.
