Not to disagree but that’s rubbish.
I finished training with a CPL/IR (me) MCC & just over 150 hours, more commonly known as the fATPL.
This was enough to get me several interviews, which led to 2 job offers from airlines neither of which required an SSTR.
However a word of caution! Not everyone who starts training is going to end up in the RHS of an airliner, there just are not that many positions available & competition is fierce. But there are jobs out there, and there are still a number of airlines in the UK that take low-hour cadets & don’t require a type rating. You just need a bit of luck a lot of hard work & keep to your ear to the ground.
