I think the guy that has 300 hours that went to a sturctured flight school in six months is probably more proficient that I am. He flies everyday whereas I may get 100 hours in a year. Thats what I mean by hours does not always equal proficiency.
Once you meet the minimums, you will be given appropriate consideration at your interview for your life experience and long-term involvement in aviation. Personally, I would hire you over a puppy-mill grad who just had to show up and do what he was told.
