I am putting this question out to everyone here because most pilots at my job have become consumed with the thought that when they get 1000 PIC in the DHC6 they will be able to go to Southwest. We are a 121 mainly VFR (not this winter though) canyon operation, with two routes to non canyon destinations. While I feel this is a great place to work, and a great place for excellent training, I want someone elses opinon on this "Southwest Insanity". A few people have gotten 737 type ratings in preparation for their interview. Here are my questions.
Please if you work at my airline do not respond to these questions! I am looking for OUTSIDE input.
- What does 1000 PIC in the DHC6 represent to a Southwest?
- We are 121 but are we even considered the same as a regional or just 120.5?
- Is it true that getting a 737 type rating puts you in the "small stack" of resumes?
- Is the DHC6 even a competitive airplane in todays world?
- What are the odds of getting an interview? (with and without type)
- What are the odds of getting a job?
