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.
Ok. Got that. But then you still need the minimums though to be hired as a FO/SIC, i.e., 200 hours x-country; 100 hours night flight; etc. Or does that not matter, and will get those minimums as a FO/SIC? That's the part I'm still not plain on.
