Assuming you are medically fit and would prefer to remain flying, bite the bullet and pay to get trained-up on one of the modern types...
I've never really undertood the rationale the pilots expect employers to pay for such training. If you want to be a doctor, lawyer, accountant etc, the majority of successful entrants pay for most or all of their professional training.
Yes, it's nice if you can get it, but don't expect it.
Good luck!
P.S. Couple of great guys I know became very successful Air Accident Investigators plus P/T private safety-instruction seminar roles.
