I was once told by a prospective employer "you are unemployable with 240hrs"
That was for a C182/C206 job. He asked me to work for free and build my hours. Needless to say I never called back.
Unfortunately I am still unemployed, and had I taken the position, probably would have closer to 300hrs TT and a fair bit of 200 series time. However, as much as I love flying, I have an $60k student loan that will eventually need to be repaid, alongside the cost of living and the cost of renewing my medical, MECIR etc, which I'm sure fewer and fewer companies pay for these days.
