Two Random Questions
A while ago I remember seeing two different random questions in a different forum that I now can't find. They were interesting questions, though, I think they were hypothetical, and I don't think I ever got to read the answers.
(i) Leave of Absence - I think the situation was that the pilot wanted to go to law school (or maybe just get an undergraduate degree, don't remember), and she was wondering how LOAs work--whether they are often granted, for how long, if seniority still holds, other implications. completely unrelated, (ii) Type Rating - I think the pilot was employed as an RJ captain at a regional airline. His question was something along the lines of, if I get a type rating for something big (not a 737, I think it was a 767 or maybe even the triple) between the time I quit my regional and am hired at a major that flies a diverse fleet of small and big jets (like UAL/AAL/CAL), and I already have my big airplane type rating (say 767), will they put me, the former RJ captain in an FO slot on the 767 or, say, the 737? I think he was pretty interested in international stuff. Just some interesting questions I never heard the answers to. |
1. It varies by company and labor contract
2. It doesn't matter what you type rating you hold - at least at the legacies. They fill the openings by seniroity only. |
Type ratings without substantial time in type are not worth much in terms of competitiveness. The only exception is SWA which requires a 737 type as a condition of employment.

Do you need the 37 type before interview at SWA?
