Folks,

Wanted to pass along something I just learned that has been causing some serious stress, and thought maybe we could use this thread to keep the gouge flowing.

Please, no personal attacks, whining, pontificating, or any other b.s. that won't help military dudes get hired by the airline of their choice.

My LL:
I've been frustrated trying to figure out why my flight times do not match up between what I've been calculating them as and what the AirlineApps total is. I've borrowed every bro's Excel spreadsheet-o-justice I can find and they still do not match.

Here's what I learned today: the AirlineApps program automatically adds on the airline-specific military-to-civilian conversion factor. Some airlines use 0.3 per military sortie, some use 0.2, etc.

So when you target your app to a specific company, the program makes those additions (it uses the type aircraft that you specify, everything that is "military" gets the conversion added on based upon the number of sorties you put).

I may be the only one who didn't get that figured out, but wanted to pass it along in case anyone else is confused.

Also, the specifics of how airlines count different types of flying times, including the FAR definitions, is on the page that has the "Instructions" and red stop sign symbol in the upper right corner of the "My Flight Time, By Aircraft" page.
