Airlines pilots- how many hours did your PPL take you?

[supramkiv]

I didnt include the amount of hours it took me to do my PPL in my CV, or my CPL or IR for that matter, even though it was all done in min. time. The airline I fly for didnt even ask for those details. Concentrate on getting the maximum benefit out of your flying lessons no matter how long it takes you to get to the test.

Good luck!

Ditto to what has already been said....In addition; Make the most of your flying hours, after all you are paying good money for them! Not just the instructional time, when you are building your hours you should go places, different airfields, plan a flight and stick to it, don't just float around to burn off time. Fly at night whenever you can, personally i enjoyed it far more than daylight flying. I did an FAA IR first and after that I did lots of IFR flying. Its not about total hours, its about doing the maximum you can with the time you are in the air.

Mine took 53hrs but was due to bad wx ws at the time i started. From my experience they (most airlines) dont give a toss. First time passes is more important.
