Technically you can log more than 25 hours of airline sim time towards your TT requirement. Everyone thinks not because you need 50 multi and 25 in a multi engine airplane so they give you the other 25 in their sim, then defacto think that's all you can apply.
There are actually even more exemptions past that, but for simplicity sake, the majority of people need 1475. Those that qualify for RATP usually know exactly what they have and what they need.
