Boeing7xx, I applied a loooong time ago. I got a postcard that said something I've long ago forgotten. Back then you were busy hiring my green card FOs with no Capt time. Maybe they'll treat me well when I'm bounced to the rt seat.
SW hiring standards are not my business. Above my pay grade.
Good luck to us all. We're gonna need it.
Just as you have said that AT is not an OJT training mill. Neither is SWA. If your former FO's didn't have CAPT time it matters not. They at very least had the PIC time required. Ever wondered why they got the call and not you? Might have nothing to do with a green card.
If CAPT time was a requirement than I would have been out of the running because all I had was single seat fighter time. Very deficient flight time quals, but somehow I slipped through.
