Does Eagle really only require 200 XC?
 
I posted this question earlier in a different place but didn't find what I was looking for.
The AE careers page says 200 XC. APC.com says "ATP minimums & written." My friend at AE says that the employee referral page says 500 XC.
So which is it? Help!
I'm at 1250 TT/200 XC. The rest are met. Like others, I'm flying my @ss off, but building XC way to slowly. If AE really only requires 200 XC (R-ATP?), I could stay where I'm at until 1500 TT. (No college degree yet.) If they need 500 XC, then I've gotta start sniffing out a 135 job...
I understand that a 135 job hauling cargo is likely the best route for building experience/confidence, but I can't help but feel a certain amount of pressure to get on the front end of this hiring thing. (Please, no lectures. I get it.)

Front end? Anywho I believe you need to meet the college requirement or ATP mins but under age 23 to get a restricted. Otherwise all requirements will need to be met for an ATP.

I think any ATP, restricted or otherwise only requires 200XC now. I might be mistaken though.

R-ATP category: 250 hrs CC, 1500TT
 
"A person who applies for an ATP certificate with restricted privileges may apply if he or she is at least 21 years of age and has at least 200 hours of cross-country flight time, provided that person also has 1,500 hours total time as a pilot and otherwise meets the aeronautical experience requirements of § 61.159."

It's 200 cross country. I called and asked.

Any airline (regional, for purposes of reality) is 200XC with the new RATP certificate as already described below.
