Yep - about 200 hours...this was before long before they "officially" lowered mins for those with RJ time. I actually flew all the way from Richmond to Seattle for a job fair, just to get turned away. They wouldn't even talk to me because of my time LoL. And a day later HR called for an interview date!

I personally think the 100 hours of multi engine time is overrated.
I do like the 100 hours of instrument requirement. I think all airlines should have mins like that. I also think having a reasonably high TT minimums is a good idea.
But why does 100 hours of multi seem to be a universal requirement. I think there is not much difference between having 25 and 100 hours of multi. I would rather see someone with better experience (college degree, 1000+ TT, lots of instrument time, CFI/II/MEI ratings, etc...) and have 25 hours of ME rather than someone who has none of those, but bought a 100 hour block of ME time.
Maybe 50 hours of multi is a better minimum.
