Storm Aviation self fund

First of all let me say that I dont want to start an argument here about paying for this kind of thing. But Storm are listing a self funded type rating on the 757 or the 737 (not sure of the operator)for just under 30K with this you get 300 hours on type also. But then on the same page they are advertising for proper f/o slots and they want a minimum (as almost always) of 500 hours on type. Surely for that price they could let you fly for free for them for another 200 hours to at least set you on your way with 500 hours.

My point is how can these guys serriously ask for this kind of money knowing that basicaly you will still have a hard time getting a job in the real world unless you get another 200 hours. My guess is they know you will want these hours and they will offer them to you for yet more money. Hey if you can afford it good luck to you.
