I agree it sucks. But, for the record, as a fix wing guy, I was allowed .2 per flight. In both heavies and fighters you would be in the jet, engine running, taxiing out, arming up, or awaiting a TOT push time, tankers waiting for the fighters to get airborne etc, way more than that, sometimes hours. But .2 is all you get. If we did a mx run and never left the ground, we didn't get any credit for that either. They are trying to make apples to apples for the conversion(military to civilian) for mil because of the way military does the time. But unfortunately they are only doing apples to apples for fixed because most majors are wanting fixed wing time. I personally don't know anyone at my company that got hired with just helo time. Not saying someone isn't here but, their game, their rules.

Don't pay attention to the comments about the quality of the person in the seat. Totally irrelevant to this topic.
