you do have a chance to join non-type rated. sometimes if you're lucky with the interview, you will get in while type rated candidates don't.
all new joiners get the same remuneration, type rated or not. only thing is you will have to be bonded for a couple of years and there is an incremental raise of 50bd to the basic after every year of service.
i don't think gf is in a position right now as a lot of mucking around is taking place with their so called expansion plans. until that dust settles (could be weeks or months), give it a shot. chances are average.
