I just don't believe in perpetuating the PFJ mantra - especially in today's hiring market. You have good numbers, as others say find some other ways to stand out and keep updating. You'll get there.

Heard good things from buddies about this company.

22/28 of my new hire class, less than one year ago, did not have the type. Just sayin’

I had a great experience at Crew Pilot Training. If you’re going to get the type, I highly recommend them.

Get the type. There is no doubt it makes you stand out. You will make your investment back almost instantly.

Second CPT...it’s not comparable to flight safety in regards to facilities and training aids, but they did a great job. Great instruction. Do your part before you show up and it is a breeze.

I did it because once I made the decision to apply, I wanted things to move fast. Not sure I needed it but I wanted to stack the deck....and, it happened very fast. Applied and completed type one day after window closed, updated the app, less than 5 weeks later interviewed, 3 weeks later had the job offer. Only place I applied so I was indeed targeting just SWA. I also had the $ so I did it. If I didn’t have specific reasons for SWA, I don’t think I would have spent the money.

How long did it take to get the type? What's the time commitment at the facility?
Thanks.

I did it before the new rules kicked in a few years ago, so I’m not sure what the program looks like now, but it was 10 days back in summer 2014.

It takes 12 days. You may check a day early. Not sure what you’re asking with the second question....ground school was 2 or 3 really long days into the pm. Remember, you self study before you show up. The way we did it, to get as much exposure as possible, we rode along as the other two trainees flew to watch and learn. We had 4 in the class so we did 8 hours in the sim every single day...that was our choice. You don’t have to. But you’d feel stupid to pass on the sim and then fail....we all rode along. Did that answer your question?

Yes. Thank you.
I’m just trying to figure out if it is something I could even accomplish. Doesn’t sound like it without any vacation this year.
