Why are you forced to do more hours? Aren't a few more hours a good thing, it all goes towards hour building afterwards?

My question is, Orlando FT offer around 1000 hours (which includes a good few hundred hours work) at a price lower than the uk schools charge for just the training hours and maybe 80 hours work.

Is it better to have the 1000 hours USA style or 300 hours UK style?

Also, are Orlando FT just wanting your money and therefore interested in just churning out pilots, or are they a desired training provider as far as employers are concerned?

I am required to pay for half my sons training and we still havent chosen a school. He hopes to commence from 0 hours before Christmas. We are concerned that in the UK, the money runs out before the hours are high enough for work, in USA it seems the money will still run out, but at around 1000 hours not 300.
