I have to disagree, I have not one but two jobs and Im at 300 hours. A lot of it depends on your background, resume, and where you learned to fly. If all of your time is in a sim instead of an airplane you for sure are less likely to get hired. I literally when to every Airport with 50 miles of my house found every company and went and talked to all of them. I took resumes, I dressed for the job I wanted, and I showed up early not just on time . Every person I met said you really lack in hours, but your look professional, speak professional, and you showed up on time, yea ill give you a chance. I flew 17.2 hours just last weekend and I wasn't even scheduled to fly, but I have become there "Yes" man, as long as Im not exceeding my personal limits I am always there for them. Put your nose to the grind stone, be polite, be proffesional, and when someone tells you to call them when you hit 500 hours, do it.
