Bachelor's and master degrees, instructor time and ratings, safety positions, management positions will get you the interview before hours will. In my class everyone was some type of instructor: sim, line, check airman and military equivalent.
Anything that shows you've gone above and beyond just flying the line.

I agree. Been applying for years and as soon as I completed my masters and updated resume I got a call the next open period. Not everyone needs a masters but it was what brought my app up to enough points to get an interview. Once at the interview everyone is equal I believe. Gotta get by the computers first.

That's a fact straight from the horse's mouth. Letters only help after one gets selected for an interview. The good old boy system of walking a letter in to a chief pilot and or the hiring folks is, sadly, dead.

Can't hurt if you got the time and money and really want SW over anyone else. I know only 25% of those in class have the type anymore but training really likes the guys who have it. Not sure how many points that gets ya
