Once again, my point is for people looking at "advice" to consider the logic of these people screaming about training contracts.
uhm, so I am "the type" huh?

Show me where I indicated that I have a problem with training contracts. I am a new-hire at World which means I signed a 2 year training agreement. Personally, I have no issues with training contracts.
Nevertheless, training contracts do not compare to buying a type rating. It is not at all hypocritical to be against training contracts and accepting a job at SWA and buying a 737 type rating.
