No. It means if you are restricted ATP eligible, they can issue you one. No other subtext.

That is just a minimum and yes, you qualify for FO with a regular ATP. You can qualify for the restricted ATP without a degree with just 1200 hours or even 1500 if you don't meet all the x-country mins, etc.

You're not going to find the prefect aviation job, unless you're rich. Don't let the internet ruin your goal.

A lot of these posts are from those of us who gave 10+ yrs to the airlines and have been pretty beaten down, but for those starting, the future looks pretty good. You will have to put more time in now at the low end, but the payoff will be even better. The occupation of airline pilot should never have been entry level. The head up their rear MBA types tried to make it that way, and Colgan and others resulted. The real threat to our career is the MPL, and that isn't possible here for the time being. Just know you are going to have to suck it up for a couple of yrs. Better to do it now, while you're young, than when you're pushing 35+, want to start a family and you're making barely 40K/yr with no end in sight.
