Dazd, getting back to your original question, I know 4 guys in my unit who have been hired by SWA during the past 12 months. 2 of 4 did not have type. I have an interview in Mar w/no type and will see what happens.
As for your second question, my buds were completely up front about it. One said he would get it if offered a job. The other had it scheduled, but got called to interview before he could go.
