Looks like the type is required again to get hired but not interview? Has this changed recently? It's on the careers page for application.

Oh, ok. Careers page says it is. I must have a link from an old page or something then.

Likely carry over from yester-year. The type is not required, and I think Rocky will go so far as to discourage you from getting it if you're considering spending the money.

Maybe true but they give it to you in 2 months. So yes it is required, but they give it to you

I think it is an old link. Look at the pilot bases listed, no Denver base listed and it has been around for nearly 5 years I believe.
