I dont reckon Emirates Airlines has A320s they have 777's and 380's.
In terms of job prospect i found many airlines around the world that only require 500 on type not even a necessity of the 1500TT, and btw the FAA part 126 for the operations of certain airlines they clearly state its not an issue for the SIC to have more than 250TT and a tpye on a aircraft that takes more the 26 pax or more.
I have been an unemployed CPLer for quit a while and i either take a family loan and proceed or forget this all together. even regular jobs are hard to find with a licence that cant feed bread.
