Don't spend your money on a type rating if you don't have the promise of a job afterwards.
Most companies will only take 200/300 hr guys with a type rating if they are really short - this is very rare.
Recruitment across all airlines this coming summer will be good - with a lot of movement and expansion - there will be opportunities for inexperienced guys, but you just have to sit tight and keep plugging away for jobs.
Dont do a speculative type rating - its a very very big gamble
