When you apply to Southwest just make sure you subtract this time to meet their definition of what PIC turbine really is
The FAA is the government authority which also means they grant ATP's...something required now at most of the majors hiring. Do you expect someone to not LOG PIC just to keep his book in line with SWA's requirements and wait another 6 years to upgrade before he can get an ATP and maybe go to JetBlue?
Do not confuse resume/application time with logbook time the two can be different and the companies accepting resumes do not expect them to match...unless you're claiming MORE time than is in your logbook.
