I’m a former military RW guy with roughly 5000 TT, 2000 of which is SIC at a regional and a LCC. I’ve been applying to Southwest for a couple years and plan on continuing to do so. With basically zero TPIC (2000 RW PIC) would you all think getting a 73 type would be beneficial? Aside from magically accruing some TPIC time, would anyone recommend anything else that might bolster my chances? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I must be bidding wrong. I average an extra 3-5 tfp per month, if that, due to scheduling's "everyone's on reserve!" reroute buffoonery.
Yeah, but have you tried their Pizza Shooters!
Seems like every trip I do has PP all over it. (I don’t care about my layovers, I’m here for $$ not beers at Chochkys)

And how does one become a Check Airman as a first officer?

I might also suggest being a New Pilot Mentor at your 121 carriers if they have such a program. I think it might have been what pushed a buddy of mine over the top to get the interview. You can generally do this as an FO. It demonstrates leadership, caring and volunteerism (as these are typically non-paid positions). Best of all it really helps out those coming into the 121 world for the first time.

I got an extra 14 on my last trip! A 3-day at that. They changed it on day one, and the rest of the trip was PP. My Capt was complaining about all the rerouting, but I was loving the extra $$
