I worked for Chester County Aviation back when it was first bought out and Jet Direct became a reality. I couldn't crack that nut without the requisite times b/c of ARG/US. They wanted at least 2000 total to be a jet FO and the 100 hours time in type is pretty firm for CAs according a friend who works there. Things have changed dramatically since that endeavor started and its more Sentient than old school Chester County anymore.
On a side note, I was just up there flying real airplanes today. Sheesh did the jet screw up my flare.....
