"Getting married this spring. Since my entire life revolves around me being an airline pilot and since the wedding party are airline pilots too, we were thinking of having everyone dress in their respective uniforms for the wedding instead of tuxedoes and dresses. (cheaper to do it this way too)"
"What are your thoughts?"

I prefer this one from Labrat...
Book smarts from the classroom of an "accredited" aviation university will always correlate into a better pilot - even more so than someone with three times the experience, double the type ratings, and a squeaky clean record but no "accredited" aviation degree. In fact, now that I think of it, those "accredited" university degrees will speak multitudes more than a pilot who only has a non-aviation degree from someplace like, say MIT. Thanks for enlightening everyone's knowledge base on statistics, it's people like you that make this world a smarter place.
I'm starting to think this guy is maybe one of the funniest trolls on here.

Some of these pilots receiving PIC type ratings are not yet at ATP minimums. Are they still required to have an ATP Written coming into the PIC checkride even they aren't getting their ATP? Just curious, thanks!

Im pretty sure they are not giving PIC types to people until they have the ATP mins.

I don't know what the numbers are, but I can tell you that they checked my logbooks closely when I just got mine at 9e, and he added up the times to be sure I met the minimums (which I was well over). I asked him what would be done for the guys who didn't meet the minimums and was told that they were still issuing types and ATPs, but with restrictions on them.
I don't know if that was just for being short on things like X-country, or PIC time for ICAO, but I was given the impression that there was some flexibility there.

Why on gods green earth would a regional airline bust balls on a checkride that means absolutely nothing to them other than extra cost to retrain an applicant if they fail the ride. Seriously, this is not an upgrade event. You are not earning another stripe. It's just a check in the box that means you can keep your job come Aug 2013
