What he's saying is that once you have the hours for a restricted ATP (sounds like you have them now), the CA thing doesn't matter because once you have the hours needed to upgrade (1,000 121 as an FO), you will be well past the point of moving on to a full-on ATP, no longer a restricted.
In other words, having a restricted ATP in your case means nothing when it comes to upgrading because it will require 1,000 additional hours at a regional.
