I am not plenty of hours but paying for a TR won't give you a job righ now unless you already have jet time or have a big contact.
I did the A320 rating and all airlines asked me a minimum of 300 or 500 hours on type, so I guess they do not really need pilots at the moment so they do what they want with the minimums.
A friend of mine is still looking for a job, he has more than 1000 hrs turbine , FAA and JAR ATPL + 737NG rating and airlines ask him hours on type....
In this industry we always need more and more
