I interviewed there with a group of 12 people in December 2005. Out of the 12, only 3 had their type. Out of the 12, only 4 got hired, and one of those was without the type, however they had family that worked there, so it helped him.

I was surprised to get a call for an interview, but I didn't get the job, so no sweat off my back or hurt to my checking account. They pulled in a lot of management pilots and check airman without the type from Nov. - Dec. of 2005 because, (my best guess) nobody was paying for the type over the holidays.

On a side note, I got picked up by someone else, and guess what, I'm getting the 737 type now and don't have to pay for it. What a novel idea
