My guess is, it is less of "you need 1100 hours to meet our minimums" and more of "you need 1100 hours to be competitive with everyone else applying". It's definitely a good company to gain experience with, especially for some of the more low-time guys. Good exposure to more high performance, high altitude, CRM, etc. It definitely made me better prepared for the 121 world than if I just instructed the whole time. It makes them a popular outfit for lower time guys, so they get a lot of applications. When you have that many applicants, I'm not surprised that 1100 is becoming the competitive number.
