I couldn't agree more. Having sat across that desk as someone physically checked off all the ratings on my résumé cross checked to my certificate, I'd much rather explain why I have a type rating with no time than have to explain why I chose to leave one off. It could come off like you were intentionally trying to hide it. And that leaves them open to wonder why, and their first thought I'd bet will be that you really want to be at a specific airline that requires you to buy your own type rating.
