If it helps....put my app in Dec of 2005. Military 2400 PIC, 3200 total, no type rating, Chief of Stan/Eval. Interviewed April 2006. Hired, got the type rating a week later, started class 9 days after that. Been at SWA for 6 months.....ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
My recommendation....get the type and take a gamble. Its worth it.
Dont forget, you can deduct the type from your INCOME on taxes as a job related expense, which is huge. Saved me a boat load on taxes.
Or you can Montgomery GI the whole thing instead.
Cheers
