About "Qualified" or not "Qualified". Some companies diesn't care if you already Type Rated and they can ask you to REDO it:

Then after 3,5 years CAE called me and asked what my situation was. I said well, I just obtained my 737 Rating... The friendly lady, asked me then, well are you still interested to work in FR? I said yes, but NOT when I have to REDO B737 Rating all over again for the grandstand price of 30K. I said, I HAVE TR737 rating so if they are in such a big need then they should take me on, but that was NOT possible when you dont have hrs on type. So then my answer was Thanks but NO Thanks.

... And of coarse companies are "not trying" to make profit on pilots. ... And TR is responsibility of reach pilot. Poor poor companies.
