Two+ types is good, you might have got lucky once and had Santa Claus for sim and the Easter Bunny for IOE but multiple types means you're probably trainable (and nor afraid of training). Majors do care about that.

They also care about a recent (3-5 years) type rating, which might now be of concern if major hiring stagnates for a few years. If you only have one other fleet to jump to at your regional, might want to consider the timing.
