The issue is, I have an unrestricted Multi-ATP but only 800hrs fixed wing because it was an add-on. Some airlines say no problem, others say I must have the 1500 fixed wing also.
I haven't had much luck shedding light on this. Could someone shed some light as to what the requirements are or if it's just a preference for each airline. I spoke to the local FSDO and they say there should be no problem qualifying. For what it's worth, I also have a jet type rating
Jeremy/Skywest are wrong. They do not understand how to read the regs. Check your PM's.
§61.159 Aeronautical experience: Airplane category rating.
(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section, a person who is applying for an airline transport pilot certificate with an airplane category and class rating must have at least 1,500 hours of total time as a pilot that includes at least:
Helicopters have "pilots"... Right?
Here is the required "fixed wing" time: (other than T/O & Landings)
(5) 250 hours of flight time in an airplane as a pilot in command, or as second in command performing the duties of pilot in command while under the supervision of a pilot in command, or any combination thereof, which includes at least—
(i) 100 hours of cross-country flight time; and
(ii) 25 hours of night flight time.
