They aren't hiring with R-ATP...yet. There has been a big shift at the training center and on the line with regard to adjusting to experience levels of new hires. Just a few years ago, they were hiring super experienced folks with a type rating in hand and giving them a really poorly executed, cheap, and truncated new hire training and then throwing them on the line to learn everything.
I heard directly from a standards check airman that they were told that we were going to hire with a R-ATP and standards put the brakes on it, at least temporarily. I would be very surprised if they do not lower the mins within the next 12 months, or at least when AQP is fully implemented. For right now, though, you have to have a full up ATP.

If you want to get hired, you'll figure out how to get those hours. Instruct freelance through a local FBO, a flying club, or training academy. Fly for CAP. Pay for your own hours (I know I know). Do whatever it takes to get your 1500 hrs and full ATP.
There are 21 yr old pilots hustling to get 1500 hrs before the hiring boom ends and if you don't hustle too, you'll be the one sitting out the next hiring pause.
