For the folks who were told to go get the 737 type, I wonder what that really does for your chances from a practical standpoint.
For reference, at the 2015 WAI Conference, Bill Kennedy said of United, the average flight time they hire is "~10,000" total time." He made it clear that it was an average.. "we hire folks with a lot more, and a lot less than 10,000."
That same conference, SWA said they consider 737 type as "equivalent of a master's degree."
Both statements are well over a year old, and obviously everything changes, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Well, got the type at HPA October 2014, so no worries, I've "de-learned" everything.
