But I am curious how accurate are they. What I mean is the airlines posts a certain minimums to apply with them, but realisticly what are the requirements to get hired? An airline may post 600/50 on their website, but does that neccessarioy mean they will hire you with that?

A regional will generally at least consider you, depending on how many responses they get. There is a shortage of entry level airline pilots who meet the traditional 1000/100 requirement, so the competetive mins are coming down. However it always helps to have an internal recomendation.
