Southwest Type Restriction

[Dave737]

On the Southwest application it asks "do you have an unrestricted 737 type". I received my type as a Usairways FO and our company ops specs dictated circling mins at 1000/3. So the FAA put under limitations on my license " B-737 circling approach VMC only". What are the Southwest circling mins and would you consider this a restricted license as far as the application goes??

I think you'll have to have it removed. I don't know why though, we only do 1000/3 circles as well. Call Higher Power in Dallas (or someone like them) and ask them about removing it.

Make sure you call SWA first and make sure you have to, but I asked before my type and was told I would have to demonstrate the circle.
