For SWA guys-gals: 737 versions

[aloft]

<div class="bbWrapper">I understand that SWA does not split the crews in -200, -300, -700 groups and that anyone can fly any version...<br /> <br /> Is this true? How is the standarization and recurrent training done?<br /> <br /> Could someone provide details?<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance!<br /> <br /> Aloft<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Actually we at SWA fly the -200/-500/-300/-700.<br /> <br /> All the jets are pretty much the same to fly. In DAL we are no longer teaching the -200 differences. All the -200&#039;s have been moved to the HOU/DAL bases as there are only about 26 of them remaining.<br /> <br /> Recurrent training is done in either the -300 or -700 sims, no one does recurrent in the -200. Come to think of it, we don&#039;t even have a -200 sim.<br /> <br /> There is a -200 qualification program for the folks that want to stay current on the -200, other than that unless you are HOU/DAL based you don&#039;t have to fly normally.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps,<br /> <br /> HC</div>
