WITHOUT A BOEING 737 TYPE RATING. Must have been a point counting oversight by HR

The number of applicants with 737 type ratings, that are not disqualified due to other reasons, is likely very small at this point. They would not be able to find enough new hires to "joint Soutwest" without looking at non-typed pilots. It's simple supply and demand.
