Sorry, I'm not smart enough to quote quoted text...

"2 PIC for this purpose is defined as Captain/Aircraft Commander of record, not simply the sole manipulator of the controls. For military personnel, Southwest Airlines will allow flight time logged as "Pilot in Command" (PIC) only if you are the Captain/Aircraft Commander, Evaluator, or Instructor Pilot. Primary time will only be considered PIC on a specific aircraft after an individual upgrades to Aircraft Commander in the appropriate aircraft. Time logged as "Other Time" will not be considered. "

The very 1st sentence says sole manipulator of controls does not imply PIC for their application, it could be a little confusing if this applies to all applicants or just mil. The 2nd sentence then gets specific to military personnel where there is absolutely no gray area. For me it was <30 hours so not worth arguing over. Listen, this debate is fruitless -- I can fill out my application and you can fill out yours. SWA is renowned for confronting people on their log book. If you feel you can justify what you put down on the application in the interview process then go ahead and do it.
