The cost is less in the direct out of pocket expense of purchasing more flight time, than in the additional time required to attain 1500 hours of TT. Goodbye ads that claim "0 to the Airlines in 90 days!" Spending a year and a half on your career training is probably going to weed out a few who are now getting through it in a Summer. (Yes I know almost no one does it in 90 days... but the priciple still holds).
