They won’t reinstate the type requirement again. They are already trying to figure out how they can compete in recruitment with legacy airlines that offer flowthroughs (cradle to grave employment), comparatively rapid upgrade, variety of fleet types and flying. I suspect they are very concerned that the only candidates that they will attract in the next decade or so are those who were unsuccessful at getting hired by the legacies and who don’t have a flow in their pocket.

Zero chance they reinstate the type requirement. New hires with the type are already the minority, and they’ve been revamping training specifically for people who aren’t typed.
Biggest reason is supply and demand though, as mentioned earlier.

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.
