you will be wasting your time and money for no good reason, this is NOT that kind of airline. If QA wants you they will take care of the training. QA has a fully certified TRTO facility and they do type ratings everyday for al fleets.

I am 55, so too old for FO

dont be so sure, we have plenty of F/O hired over 55 and many on line F/O's over that age as well.
Having not flown in so many years I would surely make it clear on what seat you might be hired for. Knowing this airline as I do with the present changes it might be more likely you get a right seat position, but then again I cannot comment fairly as I do not know your level of experience compared to the rest.
One this for sure, paying for a currency rating will not help you as they are more than willing to take care of that if your successful anyway.
