I'll have a type-rating by the end of this course,
I've read that some people will pay for a TR on a 737 / A320 etc at maybe £20k applying to say Easy as an example and then having to be bonded on 'their' TR course at a TRTO where they want to put you.

That way you'll pay twice

Food for thought, you pay for your training for a fATPL and a TR on a 737. There are no jobs around in 3 years time for a pilot with 250hrs and a 737TR and the only thing you spot is a local operator using ATR 72's. What will you answer when the interviewer asks "It says here you have a 737 rating? ... Does this mean you'll be leaving us in 2 years time when your fATPL becomes a full ATPL? And why should I pick you over the guy with an ATR 72 TR?"
