Prat maybe harsh but I completely see the point being made.
If your doing a type rating at least have an aim of who to apply for or a sniff of a job offer at least. It sounds a bit crazy just picking 'any old type' just to have it on your license. Especially the 737-200 which are far and few between and becoming obsolete. Have a bit of savy dude!!
Personally I'd go for the 747 or A380 and have the crack!!
