Spoke to Jeremy a couple of times the last two days. For some reason it has been perplexing as to whether I have the qualifications to be hired. A few months back, Brandy did some investigating and found out that I would qualify, I was set up for an interview which I had to postpone due to a death in my family. She was VERY understanding of the issue and stated to get in touch when I was ready.
Recently, Jeremy contacted me, and the issue came up again as to whether I was qualified. After looking into it he found that I was not.
The issue is, I have an unrestricted Multi-ATP but only 800hrs fixed wing because it was an add-on. Some airlines say no problem, others say I must have the 1500 fixed wing also. I accept their decisions but my question is, are these decisions based on anything regulatory or is it just based on SOPs for each airline?
I haven't had much luck shedding light on this. Could someone shed some light as to what the requirements are or if it's just a preference for each airline. I spoke to the local FSDO and they say there should be no problem qualifying. For what it's worth, I also have a jet type rating
Long winded but thank you in advance..

The issue is not FAR minimums. It takes relatively little FW time (in combination with significant RW time) to qualify for a FW ATP.
The issue is airline specific experience minimums with regards to FW time.

"Demigods" as a minimum.
Can't say I'd recommend this course of action. rickair7777 has a good explanation.

Did you use AirlineApps? I submitted to Delta and United over the weekend and it asked if I wanted to include SKW, I sent it and got a email yesterday. Similar times to you but no PIC turbine.
