Question American Eagle Mins Reduced?

Just wanted to know if AE has reduced their minimums to the general flying guys from their website posting of 1000/100 to lower total time?

I saw this post under a "College Career Fair" they are attending on Oct 3, 2007

To meet the qualifications under the current agreement between AE and FIT, interested pilots must have 400 hours total time, 100 hours multi time, Bachelor of Aeronautical Science, Aviation Management or Aviation Meteorology with Flight Option, 3.0 GPA, and a letter of Recommendation from Dean of College of Aeronautics.

So if they are "this low" for the school, have they come down for the "general public's applications"? I was on a layover in MIA on the 13th, one of the AA pilots told me he was in DFW for training, ran into the Eagle class of 25 new hires, and on day two, only 8 showed back up. He said AE is "dying for F/O's" right now....

I use to work for them, as a F/A back in '96-'97. I should be done with all my ratings/time by Christmas.....I thinking of re-applying as a pilot with around 500/225....just wondering if it's worth a shot....

Any input from current AE guys would be great.....
