The only thing FE time is loggable for is the 500 counted toward the ATP (and you need 1500 to count the full 500). Nav time should absolutely be counted for the ATP. It's probably just an oversight by the rules people since the Navigator position is specific to the military, not civilian like the FE's.
If FE time was looked at as flight time I might have a better chance at getting called by United or AA with 9600 total instead of just 1600! lol.
