Does time taken on PPL bother airlines?

Good evening folks.

I passed my skills test in November 2012. It was the end of around 2 months solid flying (when the weather allowed it!) during last summer.

The problem is, I actually started flight training many years ago when I was 16. I was flying once a month and quite frankly once the weather started kicking in was spending most time revising than actually learning anything. I then had a few years out of flying bar the odd 'I miss it, let's get back up there' hour long potter around.

As a result of the off and on business of years gone by, I actually took over 50 hours to complete my PPL, nearer 60 in fact. I had no issues during the summer, so it wasn't anything to do with struggling with the course.

Personally, I see it as a positive thing, it's just more hours in the book to me.

All I want to know is whether I'm going to be quizzed about it in the future? I realise I'm a long way from an interview or anything like that. I was literally totting up hours and the thought popped into my head.

Any opinions or comments would be appreciated.

Take care.
