But in general, no. CP has a specific meaning, and in most cases it's defined in the regs. Any mil CO will get full credit for command from any airline (well any airline worth working for), don't need to risk appearing to game the system. Possible, likely, that nobody would care but also posible someone might take offense (say a civilian who really was a CP).
This. I’ve been a CO and a CP. Very different beasts. As I wrote above CP and DO are FAR 119 positions and are designated/approved by name by the FAA. Since the company I worked for is out of business I have a letter from the FAA stating I was a CP/DO. Unless you have been told specifically by the company to do this I would NOT check the CP box for military experience. Not something you read on the internet, not something you read on Facebook, but were specifically told by the company you are interviewing with.
