They're hiring below mins now, contingent upon you meeting the mins when you show up to training. I'm not even available until this fall, so I was looking to get a CJO well in advance. Some are looking at apps as low as 100 hours, which is pretty crazy.

They can count 25 hours in a level-D sim, so they can be hired 25 hours short, and will get it during new-hire training before the checkride (which is also their ATP ride).

Interesting I stumbled upon this post. I just got off the phone with the head person over at my local FSDO, and posed this exact question.
I've got 1,380 total time with civ + 781 time in the military.....but I also keep a log book that I log my Mil time in from taxi-to-shutdown and that puts me at around 1,518 - so I asked what I should do, and she told me very definitively that my personal log book was what mattered.
It's an odd situation though, what would an airline think looking at an application with 1,380 in for the total time, but an unrestricted ATP??

When I got my ATP, I brought my civilian logbook (piston time,etc) and personal military logbook whose times matched my military flight records. I also knew exactly how many military sorties I'd logged (something like 800). Different airlines apply different conversion factors to military sorties for application purposes (some do .2, but SWA is .3 - https://swa.pilotcredentials.com/ind...qualifications). If you search the FARs or FAA website enough you might find definitive conversion guidance.
Anyways, conservatively 800 x .2 got me an extra 160 hours, putting me comfortably above 1500. My ATP examiner had no problem with this (I hadn't applied anywhere yet). Not really a need for a third "converted" logbook.
