Indeed I was 
Does the bold clear it up? Sad reality, not ever CP's can have a clue as to how HR runs the show.
As well as circling back to this somewhat;
It's not an Urban Legend if I heard if from one of their chief pilots. He basically said don't mention SW in any part of your explanation of getting the type rating....as in....don't tell the truth (at least not in this specific circumstance). Of course he also said that that opinion was more dated and not as prevalent.

+1 to what Sliceback said. I am a single seat jet guy and only have about 200 hours more than you. I am still active duty and my last flight in a grey jet was four years ago. My currency came from instructing in GA piston aircraft. I have had two interview invites from the majors.
Assuming you have had a standard to above average military career progression, then you will be competitive when you gain currency - 100 hours or greater.
Take the SE TPIC job. You can start saving for year one pay, if you haven't already, while you work on your currency and with a great QoL. If you don't get bites from the majors after getting past 100 hours, then look at enhancing your application with the 121 training and time.

Heed - congrats on the interviews. Chase each one because it might be the one you stick with. But if you get hired at choice #2-4 keep chasing number 1. But realize every month you're at the new job it rises up the list while #1 falls.
