Seems like there's not a lot of corporate/part 91 pilots that get hired....is that a reflection of the Southwest hiring preferences? Or is that more a product of the overall applicant pool being predominantly 121/military guys?
Has anyone had any small corporate or part 91 guys in their classes?

Southwest Hiring Info 2016
I was part 91. The class that starts tomorrow has at least one part 91 and one 91k pilot attending.
The trick for 91 folks is to show some management experience. Just flying doesn't seem to do the trick. (Ymmv)

What was posted above is correct, you need to have something to set you apart on your app. In my case, I think it was dumb luck to get the call for an interview.
