The airline I work for was not intrested in recruiting I guy I used to fly with despite him having a B757 rating. There is a guy on my fleet who had a rating with no time on type and he did the whole course again as far as I'm aware. Also I know a guy at easy who had a 737 rating with no type experience and he also did the whole course again complete with bond!!. Its is a gamble for sure, depends how rich your kind relative is.
