That's great to hear.
There are so many great drivers out there who haven't flown a massive airplane but who are leaps ahead of what's out there for pilots with "current time on type". It's a pitty that some airlines have the blinders on in that regard. They hire so they don't have to type rate, but it ends up costing them in the end anyway. But, I guess it's a way to weed people out, just seams like a bit of a blunt instrument.
Good luck to one and all.
