I got a turpbprop job with 252hrs (3 months after my CAP 509 course) I had a PPL before. Then at 700 hrs (2.5 years ago) I got a right hand seat job flying B757s. It can be done!! A very good mate has 200hrs and has just got his first job on an A320/321!!!
LOSTCOMM:- If people with 200 hrs are not good enough then why isn't there a rash of accidents in the UK and other countries that employ this policy? reason is, it's not rocket science, if you recieve good training there is no reason why you can't do it.
