Let’s go trough some rough estimations

Typerating theory+sim: 2-3 months
Basetraining: 1week-2months
TR on your license: 1week-2months
Applying to receiving an offer 1-2 months
Receiving an offer to starting OCC: 1-3 months
OCC+LPC 2 weeks-1month

So let’s say the earliest block hour you’ll log on the line will be 5 months from today, september. And that’s a very very positive scenario.

400-500h is 5-6months of full blown summer schedule as a checked out FO. Not a training FO schedule starting in september.

With a company provided TR you might be able to reduce it by a month, but the thread was about self sponsoring.
It looks like I was wrong, 400-500h is pretty much a certainty:
