737 type

roger that...you have to know someone. Assuming one does, would it help to have a 737 type or is it a waste of money?

I think the type rating thing is a tough question. Not to be confused with actual 737 operating experience. To me, the 737 type with no experience is a sign around one's neck saying "I am waiting for SWA", but I know of at least one person in a recent class who had just the type and no experience so it does happen. Is it a waste of money? I think so if Aloha is really your hands-down first choice airline and you have internal rec's. If you put SWA high on your list of preferred employers, then I think we all know the answer to the value of the type. Good luck :)
 
I don't want to mention any names, BUT..

Yeah I know someone in a recent class with a type rating, too. It probably didn't help in the interview, but I'm sure it made training a lot easier...;)
 
Of course, if someone is offering you a type rating for free, then by all means it's worth it!:D

8 grand to make the training a little easier might be a little steep for most, though.
 
Is AQ...

done interviewing for the 2 A/C's they're picking up this summer? Any thoughts on if this will cover the potential DCA routes?
 
"Assuming one does, would it help to have a 737 type or is it a waste of money?"

If you got the recommendation, you do not need the type.
