How do you know how much is spent ? Source ?

Go get 'em tiger. If he knew what I knew he wouldn't be chuckling right now like I am.

I got hired without it. Hey Scope, should I have turned them down? It wasn't 8,000 either, more like 5. Made double that my first month on second year pay.

Enjoy all those RJ's!

Ditto. Easiest business deal I've ever had to make.

If that's the definition- then I love PFT! While the haters get angry, I'll keep getting laid- and laugh my arse off at work- damn those laugh lines!

All I see in Amarillo when I go thru there is Delta Connection RJ's.

I, for one, propose a $27,500 fine for EACH denied boarding to paid on the spot.

SWA doesn't collect any money, but they also don't spend as much. Great slip of the hand trick there waka.

It's not a trick at all.....just a simple fact. It seems that you have a problem with facts. PFT is only when you pay the employer for the job.

Your criteria seems to be that the company must spend some arbitrary amount of money on type ratings. What if somebody didn't have to pay for their 737 type rating because they got it at a previous employer? SWA would still not "spend as much". So, on the books, it makes no difference to SW whether one had to pay for their type rating or not.

Now, with an airline that is truly PFT, it would not matter what ratings and experience you bring with you. i.e. Comair in the 90's; You could have 20,000 hours and 20 type ratings that includes Brasilia's and CRJ's. At one time, you'd still have to pay. Continental Express in the 90's, same thing. There was a time in their PFT days that experience and qualifications didn't matter....just one's willingness to write a check.

That is the real definition of PFT.

Well, at least I'm giving it, instead of taking it like delta pilots like to do

scope: "oh mr Anderson! Give it to me, give me those paycuts, dirty Dick- hmmm feels so good(!) I love it so much when you cut our pay in half, furlough our guys and then outsource their jobs to DCX...more! More!"
;-)
that's ok- maybe one day you'll get to the 777 and make close to what I do flying that guppy to Amarillo
