Would virgin expect that a qualified pilot would NOT apply to SWA? That's ridiculous. I bet that 90% of those qualified have applied.
Now it is well known that some airlines will have issue with a 73 type with OE, on the assumption that SWA was your first choice, but if you got a free type most folks shouldn't hold that against. I someone told me they didn't apply to SWA, I'd assume they were lying.
