SWA Apllication Winow Opens 9/12

Just remember that the 1000 PIC you arrive with may be the only PIC you ever see.

In 2004 you couldn't fill out the app w/o 1300 TPIC

Rough guess for you WNers: How long would it take to hold HOU as a base?

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

If you think SWA's pay will never go down, then you're delusional.

I can agree with this^^^^^^^

I can agree with this^^^^^^^

Anyone who's been following this industry for more than 2 weeks should agree with that.

Two in my class just a few years ago were hired without the type. 1000 pic IS required. I was told by the hiring lady 1200 to 1500 is best but it never hurts to try

If I recall didn't the minimum used to be "1000 turbojet PIC where you were the pilot assigned as the PIC for the flight" or something like that?

Now it's just turbine? I've got it if my turboprop time counts but if not I don't.

Ouch... Thanks.

Did you really think you would be ahead of some AirTran guys?

To the best of my knowledge, it's always been "turbine" time, not specifically "turbojet." Perhaps people have reported it to you incorrectly, just interchanging the two words without thinking. Otherwise no former P-3 or C-130 guys would have been hired, and we have lots of those guys.

The only turbine time that doesn't count, is specifically listed as excluded: turboshaft, as in a helicopter.
