200 hours (give or take) upon completion of a flightschool seems like the average to me, but i dont know about that many flightschools.
The thing is that once in flightshool, you are paying for the hours as part of the total costs. Useually, the flightschools are aiming for a few more than what is the JAAs minimum requirement.

If you however want more than 200 hours, you either need to get a job or buy them yourself. Very few and lucky graduates have entered directly into a company airliner after completion of flightschool...these days, you got to work your way up.
Personally, I think the companies will lower their limits once they really start needing pilots..and it should be sometime in the not too distant future.


Hope my personal and mayne twisted views help mate,
