Really you only need 1475 hours when you start training as between ATP CTP and training for either CRJ or ERJ you will get the remaining 25 hours there.

Agree with the above! I would much rather fly with a new CFI fresh off IOE, than a former military guy who thinks he knows everything and has a crap attitude because he has been "stuck" here longer than he wanted.
As to your second comment, agree as well. I have to place the blame on some of our CAs as well. Being "laid back" on SOP isn't helping anyone. The newer guys are like sponges, absorbing everything good or bad.

Careful with lumping all former military as know it alls... being cocky is a personal choice, not a result of where you came from..

I've flown with dozens of US military folks, 2 French Air Force pilots, and 2 Israeli Air Force pilots (most of whom were here less than a year). I have found each one (so far) to be extremely professional, humble, and eager to learn. My only complaint with a few of them is that they speak in this weird foreign acronym language.

You should be able to get your ATP mind within 6 months from interview to class is a requirement. I believe 25 multi from sim

Count on no more than 25 hours short on TT and Multi time when you get here.
By ATP checkride realistically you'll have 50ish hours in the sim or something like that (unless your procedures are in the matrix now).
Only can be used for TT and Multi, no night time no x-country etc. People assume you can "make the sim nighttime" but you can't. So at minimum show up 25 hours short and have at least 25 hours ACTUAL multi and you'll be fine.
Lots of people misinterpret and come up short. Had 2 people in my class who had to go rent an airplane on the weekend to fulfill night time and total time.

So we're done hiring people into the ERJ..? Just had a buddy with a job offer, today, yet only on the CRJ because there's "no more spots" on the ERJ.
Finally, Christ, I mean with an extra 150 FOs just sitting , I was wondering when that would happen.

If that's not clear to you, read part 61 in excruciating detail.
