They're upgrading some guys into it as low as 750 right now, but that's obviously a lot easier than doing it off the street.
In my ground school last year I think one street sled driver was around 1400 or so? I had 2500 with a year and a winter of AK experience and my ATP scheduled the week after training and I still went into a sled instead of a van to start lmao.
So it's a bit hit or miss.

I'm not sure how many hours I should log as "mountain time", I'll probably just add it as an additional item on "relevant experience".
I do love the plane though. I'd love an Alaska gig flying them.

Plenty of people stop there, but if you have a multi ticket they'll probably eventually want you to have your ATP so they can dual qual you in a Navajo.
No idea how long it takes to get into a 1900 left seat right now, but probably a while.
