I think PCL brings up plenty of good points. Sure, he may have made the mistake of paying for some training, but Southwest guys do that today. Do you slam them too? It got him to where he is today, and he passed all of the checkrides along the way. You sound like a spoiled brat who is jealous.
Actually SWA will hire without a type. I personally know of several people who were hired without. Yes, they were required to get it before they could begin training but at that point it becomes different. I do believe it is a poor practice but obviously you are getting a multi-million dollar career in return. At Gulfstream, TAB Exp. (now defunct), etc. you are only getting 250 hrs. and then maybe they will pay you the slave wages to work for them. You are comparing apples to oranges. I did not intend to sound like a spoiled brat, only someone who can't take a hypocrite who claims to be a pilot advocate seriously while they bash others even when they them-self paid to be a 121 pilot. Keep in mind this is the first time I have mentioned this in over 2 years of seeing his posts. Also, keep in mind that I agree with him on nearly every single one of his points. It is just a shame that he made a mistake and tarnished a good reputation by his actions. I am not saying he is a scab, but many scabs feel like they made a mistake to, should we ignore what they did?
