You've got the experience, you just need the type. My friend just got an interview with only 1780 hours!! That's AFTER adjusting .3 for every sortie! He's was an F-16 and T-38 stud though. My advice, go get the type ONE YEAR before you can separate/retire. They don't want you applying more than one year from being employable. Then, you can put your app online because you'll get an ATP along with your type (assuming by looking at your bio that you don't already have an ATP). This gets you in the "application queue" as quick as possible. If you want to fly for SWA, then suck up the two weeks of leave and the $7000 and do the type. Hopefully it's a good investment! Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
