For me, yes I did apply to Southwest along with a number of other carriers. I also told Southwest "Sorry, I cannot do that as I have accepted employment elsewhere."

+1. Got my 737 type in middle of '98 paid for by my company. Updated my SWA app. Spent the next 6 years playing golf with a bunch of them, making more than them, and listening to their culture.
'04 got the call from SWA asking if I was still interested in flying for them. Hadn't updated in 5+ years. Nope. Never looked back. Don't want any part of them, nor their culture. Red herring argument in an SLI debate.
