Hey Fellows, I was talking to a guy from Parc Aviation, which is an agency in Europe and he said he was at a conference where the representative from SOUTHWEST said if people with even close to 1000hrs tt wanted to apply they could and also stand a decent chance of getting hired once they are willing to pay for their type rating. Believe me, when he said that to me he got me because i still don't think they will take you with such low hours. But I don't know anything is possible.

Can I please have some of that stuff you are smoking:confused:

Yeah, your choices are de-icing truck operator or lav emptier.

Oakland, Oakland, and OAK!!!!!! :) This time next year, VEGAS BABY :D

Plan 3 months, probably see it in two.

How long would it take a new hire to get Midway?

hey hotmama, what are you referring to? Is it the minimums or me not believing it, because if it's the minimums then, i am sure you read what my opinion was on that.

I think that the appllicants integrity might be questioned if he were to apply with the minimum 1300 turbine PIC while only logging 1000 total time. Albert Einstein would be proud of him however.:D

From our website:
# Flight Experience:
2,500 hours total or 1,500 hours TURBINE total. Additionally, a minimum of 1,300 hours in Turbine aircraft as the Pilot in command3, as defined below is required. Southwest considers only Pilot time in fixed wing aircraft. This specifically excludes simulator, helicopter, WSO, RIO, FE, NAV, EWO etc. NO other time is counted.3

The on-line app asks if you meet each min. When you answer no to anyone, the application is complete for now. You can not apply.

About those questions on the first age of the application...

Rebecca Krone (sp) said it is okay to answer "yes" to the questions on page one so one can get to the application even if the real answer is no. However, when answeing those question inside the application (like 1300 PIC), you must put the real answer (ex:1250 PIC).

Call SWA PD and verify if you like.
