Did you know Boeing/Airbus offer up a certain number of TRs as part of the package when purchasing an aircraft?
Training credits for Type Ratings MAY be offered, but at a price. The purchasers/lessees don't always take up the offer (and do benefit from a price reduction if they don't), it depends on their own training capacity and commitment. For instance Virgin are gaining some initial type ratings and A330 operational experience with Thomas Cook, they will probably build on that to expand their own training schemes.

Sorry to dampen expectations.
