You're not going to get an airline job with 200 hours anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

if anything, the best indicator of being ripped off is if any of their advertising paraphernalia mentions that they are the first step to an airline job, or that their students are 'preferred' by the airlines, or any other advertising spin. These places are more interested in the contents of your wallet, than your future prospects. We call them sausage factories..... and they just keep on pumping out pilots.....

Having hired newbies in the past, our entry citeria was (in order);

Is he a tool?
Can he drink a beer?
After drinking a beer does he become a tool?
Can he fly a plane?

where you trained might have given us something to rib you about, but that's about it.
