F-16 time is regarded more highly than T-6 time in some military-leaning hiring circles because of the caché associated with the position within the military. That kind of caste-laden distinction is common amongst Air Force circles where one-drop rules, one-way airframe stovepiping, herbs vs carnivores and other dont-cross-the-streams silly AF nonsense abound, but it's generally not present in the majority of civilian hiring. I wouldn't worry about T-6 time. It's hardly a show stopper. Recency of experience is probably a more important variable in this hiring environment. Good luck.
