If you don't believe me, take a look right here on APC - FO rates the same.
I think he meant the statement that you can get any airplane as a newhire. My understanding is that if you are hired onto CHQ then you are on the 135/140/145 or CRJ. If you go the Shuttle/Republic side you are on the 170/175/190. Originally they wanted ATP mins for the 170 guys because they needed captains ASAP. I don't know if they still wan't ATP mins to get onto the 170 but as previously stated, it shouldn't matter to you as an FO since they all pay the same.
