I heard that SWA has 40,000 resumes in hand!!!! 40,000??!!?? If that is true, that is 8x the current pilot workforce. Are there that many people out there with 1,500+ turbine PIC?

I flew with an interview Captain a few weeks ago who said they do in fact have about 40,000 on file. He did go on to say that they only had about 2500 that they considered "Serious" applicants.
