A: Some candidates may have recently received a B737 Type Rating; we understand their commitment and recognize they may be targeting an opportunity at Southwest Airlines. That commitment will not go unrecognized. Even though the type rating is no longer required, it is still beneficial and will continue to have value in the screening process.

The reason why ATP/HP stopped training guys on the 737 - they were using Boeing's manuals illegally. Boeing either sued or threatened to sue = FAA pulled their certificate.
Yes type will help. No doubt about it. Applicants with type = more competitive and getting calls to interview.
Rumor is WN will reinstate the requirement for the 737 type.

Since most pilots trying to get into SWA were regionals I couldnt see them having a 73 type. But WHY did SWA want an insane number of TPIC time?
