Need to talk to a Southwest pilot

I've always wanted to be a Southwest pilot. Problem is I'm too young to actually get a job with the airline, or even at an airport yet. I'm a virtual Southwest pilot on an incredibly realistic simulator (fully functional FMC, nav systems, IRS, etc)

I've got quite a few questions that only a Southwest pilot could answer.

(I'm not a flying newbie) One of the questions is - how do you set the speeds to keep the flight on schedule when in a severe head wind (80KT+ at FL380)

I have quite a few advanced operations questions.
Another one is - how exactly should I set the cost index? I've seen it set to 20 before

Anyone who is a Southwest pilot
