Hiring Minimums
I've been reading about all these hiring minimums 600/100, 800/50 and so forth.
But I am curious how accurate are they. What I mean is the airlines posts a certain minimums to apply with them, but realisticly what are the requirements to get hired? An airline may post 600/50 on their website, but does that neccessarioy mean they will hire you with that?

A regional will generally at least consider you, depending on how many responses they get. There is a shortage of entry level airline pilots who meet the traditional 1000/100 requirement, so the competetive mins are coming down. However it always helps to have an internal recomendation.

For Example....
TSA Minimums:
Pilots
FAA Commercial pilots license with instrument and multi-engine ratings
ATP preferred
1,500 total hours fixed wing
500 multi-engine
A current first class FAA medical Certificate
Education - HS graduate required, 2 years associate degree or equivalent is preferred
But will consider someone with a paper multi commercial and an instrument rating.

I doubt it, who's hiring with a commercial? What's the interest for the company to hire 250 hour guys, that's a guaranteed failure in ground school.

Hiring Mins
Check out http://airlinepilotmentor.com/Airlines.aspx for hiring mins for most regionals. Those numbers are the posted mins for each airline but alternate mins can be lower if you have trained with an approved/bridge program.
