I've been out of the manned cockpit a long time doing the UAV/RPA thing. The career totals page on the Pilot side seems to give me ~1200 hours of primary (~530) + secondary (~360) + student time (~300). Thus I'm eligible for my R-ATP (and have already completed the CTP portion) but am trying to figure out just how much PIC time I've got. As I try to translate my FHR to determine PIC time, is it correct that I only count primary and secondary for time showing MP and not MC? If I add up just my MP Primary and Secondary time, it looks like ~280. It's a shame my 3600 hours of (mostly turbine) RPA time (all PIC/IP/or EVAL) doesn't count.
Exactly what tnkrdrvr said. You qualify for a pilot position at a regional airline and they need pilots. Go there and build time. With the current rate the majors are hiring, it will not take long. I fly with many ex-military FOs who went to regionals before the majors.
Being able to list civilian and military experience on an application is a big plus.
