First. Even if hired at 250, in less than 900 hours, you were picked up by a major and typed twice?
Only way is the intern thing or some kind of type rating scholarship.

Pay-to-play would go as low as 200-400. Or possibly with an internship or internal hire.
The ATP rule was intended to ensure that the "traditional" standard (which existed for a reason) was not undercut by creative managers with pay-to-play schemes.
