Osprey pilots are not RTP. They get the get all their FW ratings and most of the majors consider Osprey as “worthy” time. As far as I know, none of the majors count RW in even total time, so someone that came through the RTP may be a “military pilot” but not regarded the same as even an Osprey pilot. Their time for a major starts with their 250 hours of 172 time.
