Correct me if I am wrong in the following:

If Southwest are not using VNAV (which I understand to be automatic altitude selection by the autopilot based on data from the FMC), does this imply the pilots are just using 'Altitude Hold' instead (i.e. still letting the autopilot manage the height, just imputting the desired alt manually)?
