AB initio & Astraeus 100 hrs line training course???

Hi, this course takes you through PPL, CPL, IR, MEP & fATPL, and gives you 100 hours line training, plus a good 72 hours on 737 simulators. At the end of the course, you have a minimum of 200 hours flight experience, coupled with a 737 type rating and 100 hours as a CO- pilot with astraeus.

I was wondering, to get employed by an airline, you usualy need 1500 hours pic time, some single, some multi etc.. I was wondering, having just over 200, but 100 hours (and 70-80hrs P1 full flight sim time) as co - pilot, would the airlines rather take me on with a type rating? or would they prefer the pilot with way more experience and no rating?

anybody who knows specificaly about this course, or who has maybe attended it, i would appreciate any help!!

or any info from anyone really

website is www.flysfc.com

opinions people?

thanks

Danny

PS. could anyone tell me what the age limit is for holding an fATPL?

thanks people!!
