Yes - - your understanding of Southwest's requirements are wrong.
You misunderstand the details in the statement in the manner they are applied to applicants with a military background.
Edit: Sorry - someone else already pointed out the misunderstanding.
Btw - Great Lakes is rumored (known?) to be the worse paying P121 (and now partially P135) outfit out there and you are just building SIC time. Yes - for a time being I'd rather be buildnig TPIC time and making more money while waiting for that move to the regionals or other job to continue the trek to your ultimate goal in aviation.
Copy for SW, thank for everybody's clarification.
For Great Lakes, I do confirm it is the airline that pays the worst out there but I was not saying to go Lakes instead of another regional of AMF, I'm suggesting to go Lakes if you have 500tt and you don't want build time as a CFI.
I never meant to compare Lakes with and AMF or other regionals.
