How much multi time?

So I'm currently working on my Commercial Single Engine at a Collegiate Part 141 Flight School(WMU). After I get my single I plan to do my multi engine add on shortly thereafter. My plan is to go to a regional airline when I graduate and then a major(hopefully). How many multi hours do I need? I don't think there is a requirement but how many do the regionals like to see?

25 since ATP requires 50 and you can do 25 at the airline sim.

You will prob at least 5-15 for the checkride anyway, so just use this hours to be sure you are ready and don't rush

Do the 50 hours (minimum that Regionals advertise) multi-engine time need to be PIC?

No it does not need to be PIC.

25 AMEL time doesn't have to be PIC, but they do need you to have the FAA checkride completed successfully

I don't think so. Reg says 50 hours of flight time, which should include dual (ie pilot time).

Rick is right 61.153 only states a commercial pilot certificate with instrument rating is needed for eligibility for the ATP certificate. It’s not specific to category or class.

Am I the only one that shudders at the thought of a 23 year old with 50 hrs of multi time being 1 heartbeat away from being de-facto PIC on a 76 seat RJ (with wing mounted engines that produce considerably more yaw than a PA44 when one fails?)

Think I had almost 400 multi when I first went to a regional, and I was considered lucky with multi time that low.....times have changed.
