G100driver said:With respect to PFT, you are correct. SWA is not a PFT outfit in the true definition of the word.
Last time we hired however, we hired the person 1st, type ratings second. Find the right person, train him. Airplanes are expensive, put training into the budget. If you are a for profit entity, then charge what it cost to provide a product. Do not ask your empoyees to cover the cost of business.
If I interviewed people and told them that they would have to write a check to FSI to get the job I would be called every name in the book. SWA does it, and they are called geniouses????
Heck, we even pay more for the first 15 years!!!!!!
BTW, please do not take this as me trying to start an online brawl.
How bad do you want the job? That's what they are tying to find out. Will you go get a type, however you achieve it? (ie. pay, get a job with another 737 carrier, etc.)
That's the question. How bad do you want the job? If you are going to contimplate the "cost" of getting one then you aren't the person we want. Simple as that.
