Even my 150 T37 hours don’t count due to weight despite the multi engine. Their advice to my sponsors and thus to me was get another 500 hrs of Eagle time and wait for the call/email.
Multiple pilot friends of my sponsors have asked HR and their respective system chief pilots on my behalf if they really want to exclude T6 hours and all of their conversations it is an intentional decision by HR to exclude that category not out of spite or anything, just the desire to have more emphasis on heavier weight aircraft. Hope that helps clarify.
Here’s to more Eagle time, or maybe a regional...

Sadly many civilian and military guys were and are being prevented interviews by this misguided HR weight limit rule. Also, know a military heavy turbo prop guy who was a commander and has plenty of time cannot get a interview because he cannot click the jet box. i.e. no jet time. Thus not enough points to to be considered.
