Well, having CONCORD on your certificate isn't going to get you a job, having B-737 might. And there's nothing sudden about it. For 40 plus years, SW has made money flying 737s. There's not another airline in the US and probably not in the world that can say they've made money 40 years straight.

Either way, I still would rather fly a Concord around.

You can interview without the type and they will give you the time you need to get the type if they decide to hire you. No need to buy it before hand.

The company should pay for it.

Yea I get that and don't disagree with you... But it's Southwest. They aren't going to change. And the OP is wanting a 73 type to hopefully get a job. All I was telling him was that he doesn't need to type to get the job offer.
