Not this time. Now they outright require a 737 type on your ATP certificate already:

USA DOT/FAA Airline Transport Pilot Certificate. The certificate must display the following:

"Airplane Multiengine Land" Category and Class Ratings

B-737 Type Rating
("B-737 CIRC.APCH.-VMC ONLY" is the only permitted limitation for the "B-737" type rating requirement.)

"English Proficient" limitation.
Plastic certificate (plastic not required if the certificate is a valid temporary certificate.)

Where exactly would someone hired at Southwest right now fit into the whole SW/AT merger?

 

[mokitty]

Where exactly would someone hired at Southwest right now fit into the whole SW/AT merger?

Behind all current SWA and AT pilots. If hired in January lets say, there would be about 1000 pilots still needing to transition to SWA. When they do, they are all senior to you.

Ouch... Thanks.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

If you are in your 20's, 30's or even early 40's, who cares??

If you can be happy with making 140-180K a year the rest of your life from the right seat then apply.
