Actually you do. Emirates was taking time on the CRJ-900 since it met their min weight requirement. If you had the right mix of total time and some CRJ900 you could apply. Early in the game it didnt take much, nowadays it seems Boeing experience does give you the upper hand.
BAA Asia will take type rated pilots on the Challenger 850. Thats your almighty CRJ-200 type rating.
FlyDubai has been notorious for hiring only B737 type rated pilots. They opened up that requirement a few months back and are currently accepting applicants without it.
