PFT:
1) You pay money to a specific carrier in order to fly for that specific carrier.
2) You take a position in return for that money which would normally be filled by a paid, competent pilot, who is paid a wage as a cost of doing business, not from the money he paid in.
Southwest no doubt saves money by hiring typed pilots who are then trained in the Southwest operation. The many Lear operators (Citation, Hawker, Falcon, G-IV, etc) who want to look at only typed candidates are doing the same thing.
Types are good at any operator. PFT money is spent only at one.
