Someone brought this up recently -- hour-building. He said that the chaps he knew (UK or at least EU) needed at least 1,000hrs before flying for airlines and I said unless I'm very, very wrong in my understanding, I believe airlines now hire just after flight school or modular training so 200-250 or 300hrs and you can get a job at Flybe or Ryanair or any other airline, right?
