I was hired by AWAC with 1050/100, 62 of that 100 multi was turbine and 50 of it was jet SIC. I also had well over 400 hours of level C/D simulator experience, which made training a no-stress affair.

I can't help but think some of the sentiment on this thread is "I got mine, now let's pull up the ladder behind me" but IF minimums were going to be raised, they should simply be to meet ATP minimums and have successfully completed the ATP written...and newhires are checked at completion of training such that they hold an ATP certificate.
