In a lot of places, I'm sure that's very true, especially for the 737.Tejas-Jet said:True dat !!! But I thought your comments were about training....not actually flying the airplane...and your statement concerning training....when I walked out of that sim building with my freshly printed, wet ink, type rating and not yet having flown the airplane ( well, in the Left seat, anyway)....it was no different that a type one gets from a type school....it said "B 737" just like any other type....
Yeah, I seem to remember USAirways doing something like that back in the early 90's (don't know if that's where you were talking about as I KINDA recall UAL doing it too). My dad mentioned it to me but I had no intention of buying the type. I'm sure places like that had no intention of busting anyone out, people would stop paying...And remember....airlines also do 737 type training to outside customers. In fact, as I recall, my old legacy also started charging for those that "just might want" a 737 type....and the pilots that took advantage of that never had any intention of flying the airplane....at that airline.

THEMSELVES on the food chain. CAL, JetBlue, etc seem to be comfortable in the knowledge that if they hire you, you are not going to jump ship to SWA.
Whereas, say, Allegiant, Champion, Kallitta, etc. know the score and will hold it against you.
I think the interviewing employer's attitude towards this issue SPEAKS VOLUMES as to what they have to offer career-wise.

Thanks.
