I would rate your chances for getting a job to be marginally higher on the ATR , you did mention that you had a job lined up on it ????
your chances of a job on the 737 even with 300 hrs on type are next to zero at this moment in time.
The latest log magazine from BALPA which came through my door this week had an interesting article regards the present state of the employment market.
It said that 48% of XL's pilots were still unemployed 6 months after the airlines failure , bear in mind the majority of these guys were 737 rated with a couple of thousand hours on type.
And thats an example of just one airline , countless other 737 operators in Europe and further afield have also gone the way of XL in the last 6 months
This is the competition your up against. Its unlikely that 300 hrs will cut the mustard.
Your ATR job in Africa would be akin to a lottery jackpot win under the present circumstances.
