in resume, if you can not be soloed after 15h-20h, forget about this job!!!
some pilots need 30-40-or even 50h....
That's very narrow minded, don't you think. I have no doubt that you’re the greatest pilot the world has ever seen, but if it takes me longer then you, do I just throw in the towel now?
not narrow minded, but it 's an average time I have seen for 16-25 yo pilots.Some need more than 15h, some less. Over 40-50yo, you will need maybe 30-40 hours.
15 hours is an average, after 15 hours, you should be able to make 3 touch and go.

but basically if you reach 70-80h and you are still not soloed after flying everyday , better to give up this job.
