I got my XC time by volunteering for each and every XC I could, with other people's students. 500hrs of XC is good experience.
Oh I'm not saying XC time is not possible. Just wondering how many people are in for a rude awakening when they hit 1500TT and 200XC and suddenly realize they don't magically meet the mins. I'm right there with you on volunteering for every XC opportunity available. Taking 2 students is not usually an option as I do most of my primary training in 2-place aircraft.
