If somebody wants a type rating, is willing to pay for it out of his own pocket, can actually afford to do so (or at least is willing to part with most or all of his life's savings), and has a training establishment available where he can pay to make this happen, then by all means let him do so.
That's simply the way capitalism works: a company invests in equipment, a prospective employee invests in his hireability. Seems the whining is coming from the bleating socialists who want everything handed to them instead of actually having to earn something at their own expense.
