The line hours won't be THAT useful. It is only 150, and the usual required amount of hours is 500. Also it will effectively limit your possibilities because you will only be attractive to airbus operators.
i can understand them being a bit annoyed but where else am i meant to start my flying career?
There are many ways to start your career. You don't honestly think everyone else pays to work do you?
Look outside the box. Go to Africa, look at turboprop operators, go to other parts of Europe, become an instructor. There are more airlines than just the well known ones.
This isn't the same as the Ryanair offering. The Ryanair scheme is better than this because:
- it is cheaper
- you actually have a job at the end
- you get paid (albeit poorly at the start)
