The formal program will give pilots with three years of experience at partner Part 135 operators, preferential status in the airlines' hiring queue.
Through a formal training agreement, Part 135 operators Jet Linx and XOJet will position themselves in the pipeline between newly-certified pilots and Southwest Airlines. Participants in the Destination 225 program will remain with the Part 135 companies for a minimum of three years before receiving preferential consideration with the airline.
