Thanks for response. Lucky to do 2 locals a month at 4 to 5 hours each and a trip every other month. I can get SIM time but that doesn't seem to factor in much. Did about 50 hours in Afghanistan earlier this month and enjoyed the longer/better runways than were there in 2002. Rode back with Atlas rotator and spoke to several pilots during cruise. Sent my app in last week as well and will update monthly.
