True. Pretty much puts an end to the "stop handing out Type ratings" silliness. Sort of a bizarre notion anyway that someone would go to work for SW merely to acquire a type rating....

Anyway ... I haven't really been paying attention for a while, but it used to be that Southwest required applicants to already possess a 737 type rating as a prerequisite to being hired. Apparently that is no longer the case?
