SWA PIC hire time

[porpilot]

Outside of legacy (family ties) and military does SWA actually hire anyone with less than 2000+ PIC turbine. Friend of mine went to women in aviation and they told him not to get his type because he already had 2000+ PIC turbine. Thought this was interesting!

Just got the call today for a interview without the type and not updated my app since last year.

I got an interview with 1,700 Turbo-Prop PIC time. Got hired too. Never flown a Jet and didn't have the 737 type. Just a poor regional pilot.

Got hired with 7,500 total, 1,400 PIC and the type.

1250 PIC/11000TT/See left for types

No interview since 2004. Get PIC at all costs.

AMR--You mean you'd actually leave the mother ship for SWA?

Can't imagine why you'd give up 'red trips', that wonderful reserve system and C&R for the SWA way of life.

Good luck! TC

Back in 2003/04 I would have jumped ship. My upgrade time at LUV was better than at AA at the time. With all the hiring they have done, I'm probably better off sitting tight.

Besides, I wouldn't want to miss out on the big pay raise Raalph is going to get us, right?

If you get a type you can get an interview at the minimums of 1300 PIC.

I usually tell people if Southwest is your goal, go get the type. If your not a Southwest kool aid drinker and you just want a way out of the regionals, don't get the type.
