Will airlines look at single seat T-6 FAIP time the same way they look at Viper time? I hear about fighter guys getting hired with 1700-2000 at places like Delta, but where do they get the advantage? Is it purely in the large number of sorties they have or do you actually check a box on the application for having flown a fighter?
For an example lets say you had two guys that both had about 1800 Total Time, but of that 1800 TT one guy had 1000hrs in the Viper (769 sorties at 1.3hrs) and one guy had 1000hrs in the T-6 (also 769 sorties at 1.3hrs). If all else was equal between the two candidates when it came to recommendations, etc. are they both looked at the same way when being selected for an interview?
I guess the real question I should be asking is does a computer or person decide who gets an interview? Obviously it comes down to a person's decision when it comes to the final decision at the interview, but is it a numbers/box checking/recommendations game to get the interview?
