It’s not for me, but if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the benefit to buying your own rating?
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 #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.

If you are a fixed-wing MIL pilot, I would not waste my time or GI bill benefits on a 737 type.

If it's not required, how do you measure the value of a type ride without IOE or any experience behind the type. Is that really attractive to a prospective employer, especially in this environment? Of course you be you, but it seems like there are more cost effective ways to move an application up the pile.
Good luck!
