Scratchingsky, looks like you left a couple of years ago. As I said the industry is radically different, a couple of years ago may as well be last century.
Lets have a look at where the TP expeirence may take you.
Easy jet - used to be 500 factored hours to apply. Not anymore, its CTC or nought. So much for a variety of backgrounds
Ryanair - got multicrew expeirence? Then no assesment for you
BA - At the present time, Typed only, may change, but even if they do accept TP guys its gonna be a tiny percentage of the required.
Monarch - used to be a good bet. Just taken on Typed only, probably ex CTC flexi crew with 150hrs care of Easy jet. Not likely to change in the future is my guess
Thomson - Will probably recall the redundant pilots first, then any future recruitment would probably be on to the 738 from you know who
Thomas Cook - CTC and that other appalling p2f scheme
BMI main line - Appalling p2f scheme care of a wonderfull Easy jet Captain
Bmi Baby - Buy the rating first, then maybe
Jet2 - bit better, but still pay for the rating
And thats your lot folks, apart maybe for DHL, and the delights of balmy, luxuriant East Germany.
Merry Xmas, and good hunting......
