In other words... does 1300 PIC in a C-130/C-17/C-5 plus 200 hrs PIC in your bug smasher at the local FBO equal 1500 hrs PIC for Airline App purposes? I know they care a hell of a lot more about your total military/combat time than they do about your time flying up and down the beach in a C-172 on the weekend, but don't know what the standard is for those out there who have already been through this Airline App process. You certainly don't want to get caught "speeding" if the industry standard is that single engine PIC isn't worth anything.
