Ask anyone in any training department anywhere if using the metric of hours is at all substantive and they will likely tell you it is not.
I think its funny how people absolutely rail against training to the test in our educational system, since that doesn't really prepare one for the realities of life. Then we turn around and nod approvingingly at that practice for developing pilots.
