The lowering of the mins is like saying UAL and DAL are hiring 1500 TT CFIs because that’s their mins as well.
Lots of applications on file before we start going the 1500 CFI route, but we will most likely see it at one point.

They are looking towards the future when we all know pilots will be at a premium at any airline, legacy carriers as well. There isn’t a single 1500 CFI being hired right now. They are simply acknowledging they will need to be more flexible in the future, which doesn’t mean now.

Is there really a difference in a 1500TT getting hired to fly a E175 vs an A320?

No there’s not. Europe has shown 250 hour pilots are capable of flying an A320. My post was aimed more specifically at spirits training alone. It’s sort of known to be super tough and with no jet experience you are considered behind the curve.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

As far as the lack of jet training putting people behind the curve. That I disagree with. Our prop to jet pilots are, in my opinion, some of the best pilots we have. The nice thing about not having jet time when starting here, no habits to break from prior jets.
And the BEST part is as a CA, I dont have to listen to "Well on the RJ we used to......" Ugh...Nobody cares about the CRJ.
In the end, we have pilots who have tons of RJ time here and they are weak, and we have guys with no RJ time when hired and they are fantastic; and we have everything in between.
