Personally, I call this forward thinking and not "backwards" on the part of the company. Any airline does not exist solely to provide jobs for people - they exist to be profitable.

But how will applicants know that they'll get a call? If they don't, then they're left ten thousand $ in the hole.
Furthermore, what good is a type-rating without time in said type?
I don't mean to be a pain in the rear by asking so many questions; I'm only genuinely curious, that's all. I would tend to think that a successful airline like SW would be able to afford to train their new-hires like most airlines do.

I know of one guy...had come off the MD-80 at another company, interviewed, got the offer, and I think it was six months to get the 737 type. He did it a couple weeks later, called SWA, and got a class date.

Hard to go wrong with HPA but it's not cheap! It will probably set you back 12k+ after hotel/food/booze (assuming you don't live in Dallas).
