SouthWest Airlines - SWA

Try SKY, you'll probably get more responses......

First let me say - SWA is Southwest.

Skywest requires 2500TT w/ 1000 121 crew time to upgrade.

Is it 121 crew time or just crew time period? As in Part 91 aircraft that requires 2 people? Anyways, the 2500TT is right.

My Bad
 
I was just typing something up and yes I do mean for Skywest Airlines. I didn't think a question for Southwest would be posted in the regional forum. :confused:

It doesn't have to be 121.

It's just 1000 crew, part 91 & 135 counts as long as the a/c requires a crew of two.

For most of us, yes.. And I'm sure Skywest doesnt have this problem but new hires with only 250 TT, DO. They wont meet Part 61 requirments no matter how much 121 crew time they have.
