If SWA is your career goal, then you have to go for it. It will be a risk, but in the end, that much more rewarding!
Having a type and the pic time will make you very competitive. Having a great personality and being a great person to work with will get you the job.
I have many friends who are furloughed from the majors (most of whom are working again, me included) but a lot of them do not have the pic time needed. You have to remember that the hiring boom was so healthy for a while, many people did not have to stay at the regionals, corporate, 135 jobs long enough to log the 1000 pic turbine hours. So there are 8000+ furloughs out there with more to come, a lot can't and some will not even apply.
In the long run you have to just figure out what you want to go for it.
I am in the pool (as man-down, I had to register a secondtime to be able to post from the road with this cheep used laptop). I thought I would never get hired after being furloughed, but I went through the process anyway and now I count my self as one of the lucky.
By the way, I do believe they love the regional pilots and if you can add checkairman to your resume, they will be very interested to talk with you.
good luck!
