Are there any airlines that require a type like SWA used to? I always assumed that once a guy gets hired they’d do the initial course and cap it off with a type ride if needed.
Question #1: the benefit is a) you spend $ you may/may not have. b) possibly move up the line to get an earlier interview date with SWA.
Question #2: not that I’m aware of. Even though SWA doesn’t require it anymore. They ask the question if you have it. What that means to me is it would be beneficial to still get the type.
