Why don't you just apply to your own national airline or any other airline that has a jet fleet and a proper training department. They should train you on whatever fleet they start new employees on. Then work hard and wait your turn. There are lots of good airlines in Europe. Real airlines don't make people buy Trs,they provide their own quality ratings.
People now have to buy endorsements and flying because there are always those that want a short cut to flying jets. Once the cheap operators saw that some will pay, they wanted everyone to pay.
Let me tell you than when I had 1100 hours, I just started on a piston twin ( part time). Never saw a turbo prop until I joined a real airline and that was in the right seat. Saw the right seat of a jet after 4 years in the airline.
What's wrong with doing it the normal (read "hard") way.
With your time and assuming you aren't the product of an airline cadet system, I wouldn't trust you in the right seat of a jet after you bought an endorsement. Not fair on the other pilot.
