I see a lot of type rated FO job openings now, but most write a requirement of at least 300 hrs total time or 300 hrs on type.
Total waste of money. All that’s useful is a rating AND 500 hours/100 sectors. This means you can do ZFT.

Otherwise you’ll be doing the type rating again, and likely also paying again.

You’ll be in the exact same spot as everyone else, just an extra 30K in the hole. A 25m swimming badge would be as useful, if not more.
