My youngest son got a job offer from SWA yesterday, so this is tinged with some "dad pride", but the reason that it is Mooney related is that the Mooney time in his logbook had a lot to do with his career progression.
As everyone knows, the big step in the long march to the airlines (at least for those who choose the civilian route) is that first jet job.
After doing the flight instructor thing for awhile, my son was in hot competition for his first jet job with a 135 outfit. HIs logbook was the typical mix of training aircraft, but he had a good percentage of time flying our Mooney. The owner felt anyone who can fly a Mooney well, can fly a jet and my son got the job over other applicants, some with more total flight time!
I thought that was quite an endorsement for Mooneys....and their pilots.
