As for SWA, they note they want the last THREE years of flying, so that eliminates any 11X guys from just getting current and applying there. Still apply though, break the mold for us.
Even though this isn’t the swa forum, I’m curious as to where you saw that. I wasn’t aware that had changed. This is vfr direct from the swa pilot credentials qualifications page:
Currency: Experience should include actively flying two of the last five years.
