Emilian,

To answer yor questions about type ratings. You will be very lucky to get a job with an airline that will pay for your type rating after finishing training. Not saying it wont happen but the chances of it happening are very slim.

You will more than likely have to pay for a type rating however do not pay for a type rating without a solid job offer.

A type rating on its own wont get you a job, but neither will turning up to an airline and saying heres the money for a type rating now when do I start. Yes you will probably have to pay for a type rating if you want to fly a 737 or 320 in the next few years but you will have to pass an interview/ sim check first. Only part with your cash once you have a solid job offer on the table.
