Default Military Flight Time Conversion

I've found another thread with a listing of these, but it was somewhat incomplete and should find a better home in the Military section.

Here's what I've found so far:

SWA = .3/sortie
FedEx = .2/sortie

JetBlue = .3/hour
UPS = .3/hour
CAL = .2/hour
NJA = .2/hour

Some others I haven't been able to find: UAL, NWA, Frontier. Please add any and all to the list.

All of the ones you have check, and here are two more that I've culled from the mighty internet(s):

AirTran: .3 per sortie or 1.2 x your total flight time (both rumors: no solid source doc)

Alaska: .3 per sortie (rumor)

Untrue: My buddy on the inside at Airtran spoke with hiring and they don't want any military conversion added.

DAL seems to add .2, or that is what I can determine from looking at my airlineapps.com form.

I believe CAL is by the sortie, not hour. I know their Airlineapps asks for the number of military sorties, which wouldn't really serve any other purpose besides applying a conversion of some sort.

Yep looking at my airlineapps, the conversion math checks with that - thanks! Here's a consolidated list of the confirmed ones (can't edit original):

SWA = .3/sortie
FRNT = .3/sortie
FedEx = .2/sortie
CAL = .2/sortie
DAL = .2/sortie


JetBlue = .3/hour
UPS = .3/hour
SCA = .25/hour
CAL = .2/hour
NJA = .2/hour
NWA = .2/hour

Uncomfirmed:
AirTran = N/A
UAL = N/A
ALK = .3/sortie

FWIW, I never converted anything. I listed my TT and sorties on my resume with a little note on the bottom stating that there was no conversion added to my military flight time. Some airlines come right out and tell you what to add, but I'd beware of using a blanket addition. I don't like to backpaddle during an interview. Good luck. MBB

True, however, when using an online application system like AirlineApps, it adds it automatically.
