Imagine if they also said you must have one of the following:

*300 multi
*300 Turbine PIC (Such as Caravan)
*Type rating with 300 hours PIC/SIC on Type

It isn't a 1,500 hour requirement.... it is a requirement to hold an ATP license. They should be careful how they word this.... I would prefer the language say both the hours required and the license required... since it is just a stroke of the pen away by and ATA backed FAA administrator to lower ATP min's to essentially what we were hiring the past few years.
