Speaking from the perspective of an airliner seat I suggest that you don't get strung up worrying about what type may or may not appeal to an airline recruiter. Clearly a relevant type rating is always useful but, having flown with many pilots from various ME types, and also rotary, fast jet, red arrows, test pilot posts, theres no particular distinction once wearing your dark blue uniform. If you're that desperate to get into an airline seat, then go and do it now. (the gentleman who described it as "easy street" might be in for something of a wake-up!) Otherwise, having put so much commitment into getting thro RAF selection and training, fly whatever you have your heart set on and enjoy it!
