I flew my ATP checkride with Gordo in '07. Was not a show up and pass event but it wasn't stump the chump like some checkride horror stories we have all read and heard about. I think if called to the carpet, Gordo can be comfortable with his examiner rides in how he executes them. What students choose or dont choose to pass around is up to them; my $.02.

737 Type Rating
Newbie here. Going to retire in the spring and plan to go the airline route. I plan to get my ATP practical done with a 737 type rating. Have no experience flying heavy stuff and figured it was an easy way to knock it all out at once, especially since I can use my post 9/11 on it. My question is does this really hurt you on some apps? A buddy at FEDEX told me it will lead companies to believe you have Southwest dreams. I cannot imagine how it would hurt, especially since I have been on a staff job the last year. Appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.

Wont hurt, go for it. Looking at your resume anyone could figure out why you did it. And you can answer question easily.
SWA is still a great place, but its no longer the be all end all.

Just got my ATP at All ATP's in arlington. I flew a seminole 10 years ago and then went military. All ATP's has the 2 flight, 4 flight, or more flight options. I did the 2 day 2 flight option and paid $2,700, and $500 for examiner fee. All ATP's gives you supplement with a lot of the oral questions on the seminole. The instructors are very young, but it worked out. My examiner was David Graben and he is the way to go. He is very big picture and is 77 years old, but sharp as a tack…..If you go down there I would NOT recommend the examiner with initials BK.
