No one probably knows. The vast majority in my recent class did not have the type so plenty are getting the call now without it. SWA is changing up their training program currently as they know most don't have the type anymore. I do have the type though and two people who interviewed me did bring it up and ask me about it during my interview so that might have helped me individually with my score after I was invited to interview. With the cost to get it now and with the fact that the majority in each class don't have the type I would think hard about it before spending the cash.
