In other words -- you can not cherry pick. Take all of the Lufthansa program or don't take any of it.
Most of the airlines in Europe hire with 250 hours, but the interview process, simulator training, line training is much different and much harder than any regional. FYI my company hires F/Os with 250 hours into the Airbus family and you have a percentage that doesn't make it past the 1st day of interviews.
