I specifically asked Delta and United how they view RW hours when I was at WAI in March. They each said that it counts towards total time but, of course, you still need to meet their FW mins. I told them that my app on airlineapps doesn't show my RW hours in the "total hours" section when I compare my app and they reassured me that they can see it. JetBlue counts both RW and FW hours the same, but they do require a min amount of FW hours as well. SWA counts RW the same as UAS time, which doesn't make any sense to me but I'm not gonna worry about it. That tells me they value a 2 hour flight to grab a cheeseburger in a Cessna 152 more than a 2 hour flight at night, off a boat, carrying ordnance in a helo.
All that said, put your app in now. Go do interview prep (I recommend Emerald Coast), and go to OBAP in August followed by WAI in March. I did a full court press and it worked for me.
