I just found it curoius that Hercs were not even an option to check on the applicant questionaire regarding previous aircraft flown.
From what I've seen here and from what I've heard from those I interviewed with, you are called based upon your entire resume, not just flight times and equipment. Mil/civ, college, oceanic crossings, heavy time, international experience, previous 121, youth, furlough, etc, etc. all probably carry some sort of point value that they plug into whatever formula they use to qualify pilots. Internal recommendations weigh heavily and unless your name is near the top of the stack when they start calling, you'll be out of luck. It took me nine months of resume submissions to get the first call.
Also, the list of planes on their PAQ in very short. Not sure why. None of the five planes I have significant turbine time in were listed there.
On the other hand, SWA lists them all; including the space shuttle.
