Desk pilot, keep watching rumour is that the next wave of applications will open end of autumn/start winter for all ( non type rated). Of course BA hav been taking rated pilots to reduce the time in Cranebank ( BA training ctr) for all but a type rating does not give a ticket to BA. so hang in there and your time should come.
Aircraft like the DHC8-400 are a great learning platform to move into a modern glass cockpit jet
