The Part 141 Commercial Pilot Course can be completed in a total of 120 hours. This means the minimum total time to become a Commercial Pilot at a Part 141 school is 190 hours rather than the 250 hours required at a Part 61 school.

To work at a 121 carrier as a “commercial pilot” you need to be ATP rated which requires 1500 hours TT and minimum age 23.

Or restricted ATP at 21y, 750 hours or 1000 hours or 1250 hours or 1500 hours but only 200 XC... so many caveates.
