400 Hrs needed for Para Dropping!!!

I'll be taking the last (hopefully) of my ATPL exams in August and I still need to build quite a few hours before starting the CPL Course.

I gave my local Skysports Centre a call, as I heard they were short of pilots for parachute dropping, and to my amazement they told me I would need a minimum of 400hrs to meet their insurance criteria.

This has taken me a little by surprise. Anyone else with similar experiences.

Matt

PS. Anyone with other novel ways of hour building without the cost? Hey, it's always worth asking!!!
