So, how exactly does one with 600TT get 121 experience? It appears to be that the above quote contains a double negative of sorts:

A candidate with 121 experience would have considerable more time than 600 hours. A person with 600 hours and no 121 experience wouldn't posses the "advanced aircraft training / experience."

I believe a military pilot would fall into this category.

Candidates having 121 experience will be put at the top of the list, but most candidates come from other backgrounds. What they want to see is that you have some formal training and a steady job flying ME aircraft. The objective here is to make sure you can get through RJ class

It can be done...you just have to possess the will!

You Sir, are absolutely correct!

You Sir, are absolutely correct!

Plus graduates of a certain B1900 121 F/O program here in Ft. lauderdale That I've heard so many positive things about...

Sorry, I couldn't resist! And although i meant that in jest, lets hope thats not what these minimums are opening the door to.

not necessarily, for example at university of oklahoma they have a bridge program with American Eagle that sends a select number students each year through the ground and sim training on the embraer. so for some you can get the advanced aircraft training at 600tt or less...

To add my two cents, I was hired at a 121 carrier and started groundschool with less than 550 TT. And I was NOT in a bridge program, PFT, an intern or from one of those academy schools.
