I do the same thing. I know it sounds lame, but I have the FA and 781 from every single sortie I was the A-code across three different aircraft (non-fighter guy). I do not trust the AF to track that for me. Due to flying multiple MWS platforms, my time is lower (2000ish) than most of my peers who've been in heavies (3000-3500ish), so every bit of PIC counts.
I'll include my UPT time and civilian time only in total time; I'm guessing the airlines only care about RATED PIC.
