One of my IR instructors who flies for a major airline was discussing the whole subject with me the other day and unfortunately seems to think a low hours fATPL without a type rating would have to be extremely lucky to get work on a jet..
it's almost accepted that you need a type rating under your belt now.
I just hope I've got enough cash left after my MCC to get myself a type rating, maybe on an ATR or Dash 8..
