Plus, there can't "not" be a SIC. I don't see how you can get 280 hours in UPT though...DO NOT COUNT the "Other" time. I came back with 95 hours in the T-6 and 122 in the T-1. My ARMS record says I have 277 hours of UPT time because it included OTHER time...Airlines don't want to know about your jumpseat time in the T-1.
Were you ME rated going into UPT? The typical UPT stud has only a SE PPL. So, you wouldn't hold the proper rating if that was the case since everyone I know added them on after pinning on their wings. Something to think about.
