Using the GI Bill to pay for a type doesn't make it free.

It does when you already have a degree and your kids are too young to ever take advantage of it before the government takes back that benefit.

You can actually take a permissive TDY to get your type these days.

Almost as free as Bernie's college.

Yep. It was earned. Not that anyone was implying it wasn't.

Exactly. Service should be respected by all.

The question I was trying to ask was: are the majority of those without the type civ, mil, or combination.

Was trying to see if, for a civ applicant, getting the type is worth being more competitive to score an interview. Or if the civ applicant would have an equal chance competing for an interview slot without the type. Required mins vs competitive mins

Can anyone confirm or deny a rumor that SWA is planning on slowing/freezing new hire class training this summer?

I'm a civ applicant also with the type and 2000 hrs on the plane, haven't heard a thing!!!

Yikes. Have you attended any fairs?

I keep hearing the rumor that the hiring is being increased from 615 to 800.
