Ill have about 1600-1700 by the time I am available (current work notice a my Airline is three months, I've got 1.5 left!) and over 1300 hours on 41000lbs or greater aircraft.
It's probably because even if the training is the same, the paperwork probably different and they're just covering getting people their CTP course so they can take the ATP written. The whole thing is non-sense, but it is what is. Did you look into seeing what you have to do to convert whatever you have to FAA certs, then just apply for a regional and go through whatever ATP course they give so you could just take the FAA ATP written and go through the training program like anyone else?
