Must have manly callsign and be willing to continue using it well into your 50s. Previous single seat fighter experience including ability to tell several stories that involve using your hand to represent inverted aircraft. Complete lack of knowledge of civilian airline history required. Inability to find something to talk about with regional turboprop or corporate pilots desired. Must be unable to identify Saab 340 on the ramp 3 out of 4 times. Must be convinced of the technological superiority of the 737 despite all evidence to the contrary.

And I couldn't afford a garage to live in San Francisco on even the fifth year pay, anyways

At the risk of sounding stupid, on the SWA Pilot Credentials website, on the Flight Hours tab, there are only columns for PIC, SIC, Instructor, and Night.
I take it dual/student time doesn't count? I read the FAQ ("Questions" tab) and this subject isn't addressed, unlike other companies that either provide a column to enter dual/student time, or provide instructions to log student time in the SIC column (e.g., American).
Am I missing something?

This has been addressed in the last round. I agree, it is confusing. An email was sent to the pilotcredentials people and this was the result:
Lump your student time in with SIC. Then break it out when you actually go to the interview.
That is what I did and there were no questions asked.
Some guys went ultra conservative and didn't include it. They were fine too. It just looks funny when you have one amount of total time on a resume' and another amount on the totals of PC. It also doesn't lend itself to helping identify math errors.
I am simple, can't do math in public, and don't like explaining things during interviews, so I just included it and broke it out in my logbook summary.

Seriously? Is it that prevalent? I'd always heard that SWA had a strong F-16 fraternity.
Btw, please tell me you guys are joking about the call sign. I can't imagine a CA briefing going something like: "Hi. I'm Bob, but please refer to me as 'Shooter' both in and outside of the cockpit."
