You will note is says "TPIC", not TpPIC or TfPIC.
A new hire classmate (in 2008) had no straight jet time, just 1900s and SAABs. He was our junior bubba, at 27 yrs old.
SWA does not seem to prejudice turboprop time at all. I had 4000 hrs using the Allison T56A7 slinging around big Ham-Sandwich four-bladed barn doors. And 4000 hrs of the first gen high bypass turbofan, the GE TF39. Which was more fun? 😜
