You will probably get an interview with SWA as soon as you hit a 1000. But, then again the Luke-Kernals along with one of the highest bid avoid list for any of the swa bases awaits. And you’ll be swinging their gear for a long time. Going to one of these meet and greets probably helps.
Was the person you were addressing friends with Gary Kelly? I know many pilots with very competitive resumes, with flight time well in excess of 1000 121 PIC who can't get the time of day at Southwest.
