If you are going to pay for a type rating I'd consider paying a bit less and going for an ATR (other turboprop types are availble!) qualification. You are more likely (IMHO and experience from freinds) to get a job.

However, if you want a jet type rating, go to a company that will give you a few months line training, and line flying after.

As for going to one of the 'label' schools, if you really want to go down that route, I'd recommend Jerez. Again, only because I know people who have gone throught them and have a job soon after finishing.

However, I think the modular/self improver route is just as effective and will get you where you want to go for less money.
