Hey, my Dad got a job at SWA without paying for a type rating.....Of course he got "People's Express" to pay for it

.

I'm not sure how I feel about SWA requiring a type rating. The big difference I see between paying for an RJ program and a 737 type is the pay. It's not unheard of to bank 100,000 your second year at SWA. That makes a $7000 type rating a little more managable. Whereas it's going to take a very long time to get your money back at an RJ operator.
