Well I certainly have, especially lately. Why would Airlines ask for you to break down the time and put it on your application if it didn't matter. It may not count for a lot, and you certainly can move on from PDT, but they do ask for it. Why wouldn't you go somewhere you can check that box (if you are a twenty something year old looking to make a career out of this). No one hiring is drooling over guys with turboprop experience. Sure you and I and most pilots know that flying the dash is workload intensive and requires a lot of situational awareness. But does the computer program filter that rejects any online application that has <xyz hrs of EFIS time know? I don't really want to get in a fight over this or belittle my fellow turboprop pilots AT ALL but if they ask for the time on the application, it must count for something.
