Hello Topman999,
Not sure if I understand you or not, but the point I was trying to illustrate is that knowbody gets a type rating for nothing, unless hired by an airline that will type you as an employee. I think you might have misunderstood my post. Not sure though, pretty tired.
As Wizofoz said, 500 hours and a type rating CAN get you a job in Europe. That I know for sure. Of coarse, loads of luck and money are needed as well.
Good luck,
