Primary time will only be considered PIC on a specific aircraft after an individual upgrades to Aircraft Commander n the appropriate aircraft. Time logged as "Other Time" will not be considered."
Because SWA only has categories for PIC, SIC, and IP any student time does not get counted. It's likely there are others but I've got so many apps in I'm not going to double check every single one.
This statement is only defining PIC time and says Other time will not be considered. UPT time is not logged as Other time. Other time is usually logged by C-17/C-5 types for time spent in the bunk which is why airlines don't count it. Pretty sure UPT can counted as SIC
