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.
That's partially correct. Rocky did ask both questions..."who has the type?" and "who has captain time in the 737?" The latter is who he was referring to as needing to be "retrained". He indicated that the 737 type still carried a minor bit of weight but that was changing rapidly.
