If its zero cost, why does SWA insist on a type rating prior to interview/hiring?
BECAUSE IT REDUCES TRAINING REQUIRED FOR QUALIFICATION, THUS REDUCING DIRECT COSTS TO THE AIRLINE.
Duh.
And it demonstrates who is "dedicated" enough to shell out $8K for training SWA should be paying for.
Wait, in this new economic environment, maybe the company can't afford it, or ANYTHING! Especially not the 717 rates equaling the 737. That might send them straight to BK! Watch out..... It was ok 1 month ago, but everything has changed since then...
Godspeed!
