While I don't condone anyone paying for training/types, especially in the current environment, I'd be interested in hearing if you are interested in employment with SWA? It's the same thing...have/would you tell anyone at SWA your feelings?

Anyway, don't buy a type in an RJ, its a waste, any type is a waste if you don't have PIC time to back it up. But if you want to waste money and go buy a type, go buy a citation or 737 type and save yourself 15 grand over the RJ.

Personally, I would go take your ATP written, and spend some of that cash on multi time if needed. Worst case, go get a job at Mesa for as long as it takes for you to get to a better regional!
