American Airlines has you enter the number of sorties and logbook hours and does the conversion. SWA doesn't, but they will allow a .3 per sortie add on, you just have to do it yourself and then answer a question about it in their questionnaire. I don't know about fedex since I missed their last window.

Tunes, I'm in the same boat. I keep hearing that when you go to print view it adds the conversion but I can't see it. Can anyone explain how you can tell what DAL sees for your total hours with the military conversion ?

Same boat. Research shows DAL uses .2 per sortie. However, the app review shows zero time added like the previous two posts. Curious, any resolution from others?

Also, can't seem to find what AMR uses. Anyone know? The PC site shows both .2 and .3 conversions, but doesn't indicate which is used.

I can't help but wonder if the .2 or .3 "added" per sortie for the Delta app is just for scoring purposes on whether to offer an interview. When I interviewed, it was purely the actual total, not including any conversion.

Thanks Fangs. PC says not add time and that the site does it automatically for each carrier, so I didn't

I was trying to figure out what to put for hours on my resume. I'll just go with my military logbook times (plus civilian) and make an annotation on the resume that it doesn't include a sortie conversion.

I am one of the rare folks that a separate log of military flights that logged it the way we do on the civilian side. I'm not using that as I don't want to confuse the issue since the websites "automatically" make conversions.
