Also, are we allowed to log Simulator time as total time?
Thanks
I logged other time as total time and I also logged it as PIC (minus 10%) after upgrading to AC. The only time I didn't count other time was at SWA, where they specifically stated not to count other time. I had a spreadsheet attached to my AF flight time explaining my conversion. I never got asked about it at both my interviews, and I was hired at both companies, so I must have done something right.
As for the sim time, don't count that in anything.
The key to time conversion is, be able to explain it and if you're in doubt, be conservative.
