You the chief pilot's daughter or something? Oh wait, that is DL, not WN.

Default Type in 737?

Anyone know how WN views an older Type? I got mine in 2006 and other stuff came up and I never interviewed at WN nor have flown a 737 since then.

I recall hearing something about they wanted a "recent" Type if you hadn't flown one. Just curious if someone knew. I don't get why it would be an issue but who knows.

I typed in 2000 and haven't flown it since 2002.

How does SWA look at military guys coming off active that are applying? Is it a huge detriment to apply before getting the type?

No! I was hired without the type. You have 6 months to get it once hired and your "pool date" starts the day SWA has a copy of your type.

I wouldn't rush out and get a type rating just yet. Wait and see what happens with the acquisition. With two types of aircraft on property, there's a good chance the type will go away.

Wasn't going to run out and get the type, I'm just approaching decision time for the military and trying to look at all options. If I decide to get out, SWA is looking more and more like my top choice. However I don't know anyone there for a rec!

So basically you don't class up until you get your type (assuming they offer you the job)?
